‘Few of Leopolita’s works have survived, so the idea of recording Missa Paschalis quickly turned into a project to record the composer’s complete works. All surviving compositions, apart from the mass, have been preserved in the form of organ tablatures. That is why I asked Marcin Szelest to cooperate on this project and to perform Leopolita’s works preserved in a tablature for organ. During the discussion on the shape of the record, we agreed that in the second part it would take the form of a liturgy; the choice of organ works that are not Leopolita’s pieces, as well as the arrangement of the whole was made by Marcin Szelest.
‘The album was recorded in Olkusz, in the acoustically wonderful interior of the Basilica of St Andrew the Apostle, where there is a historical organ built in the first half of the 17th century by Hans Hummel and Georg Nitrowski. In this way, the collection of recordings devoted to the music of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, prepared by us, has added another artist and another music centre, as well as outstanding works of Renaissance polyphony. Lviv, where Leopolita was born and to which he returned at the end of his life, was then a very important music centre, situated at the crossroads of various cultures and religions. This time, Wrocław Baroque Ensemble performed in an all-men line-up, which is a reference to the 16th-century performance tradition.’
