About
This outstanding Polish translator and poet refelcts the twentieth-century world in his cycle. Baranczak's world is the world of late twentieth- century civilisation, seen from its centre, and not the periphery.
That world is defined by the following elements, features and concepts: rooftop aerials (II), global warming (VI), bank fraud, gangs preparing a 'heist', the idea of the welfare state (VII), awareness of Einstein's theory of relativity 'space reduced in time' (VIII), television, offering contact with the world (IX), a huge Dodge lorry, exhaust fumes (X), a 'sniper', the 'weather report' and 'sport' all featuring on the daily news (XI), the electronic 'beep' of a quartz watch reminding someone to send a cheque or take a pill (XIII), a jet plane tracing a white line of exhaust fumes across the blue sky and the notion of 'rejection' in relation to faulty goods (XV), an aeroplane's flight over a gigantic agglomeration (XVII), a car dashboard and a disc jockey's voice over a transistor radio (XVIII), a red light at a junction of a fourlane highway, a Honda car, a 'give way' sign (XX), car graveyards, cinder bins, tangled cables (XXI), a neon light (XXIII), a Walkman with earphones, rap music, compact discs (XXIV).
The second disc features the more traditional Winterreise performed in its original version.
All this in a lovely performance by Tomasz Konieczny with the accompaniment of Lech Napierała.
