About This Item
2021 . InchThe album's title Adela comes from a song by Rodrigo which constitutes the emotional culmination of our duo's programme. What counts is not the name, but the person we love and long for. Everyone certainly has such a person, and so we hope that each listener will find on our CD something close to his or her heart. The piano and classical guitar virtually never collaborate in music. However, after our first joint performance with Lukasz Kuropaczewski we immediately realised that we could create intriguing music worlds together. We followed the same line of thinking in our choice of programme, which derives from both the piano and guitar repertoires, though the spirit of the South that influences most of that music is more typically associated with the guitar tradition. In my arrangements of classical works, I strove to represent the sonic qualities of both instruments, their unique expression, and cultural associations. I reworked Domenico Scarlatti's famous InchSonata in D Minor (Toccata)Inch K. 141 so as to bring out it's Spanish roots. Titled InchDomingoInch on our album, it features distinctive flamenco qualities and an improvised layer. The InchAranjuez Concerto BWV 1056Inch is, as it's very name suggests, a fusion of the world's most famous piece for guitar and orchestra, Joaquin Rodrigo's InchConcierto de AranjuezInch, with Johann Sebastian Bach's InchKeyboard Concerto in F MinorInch BWV 1056. Themes from the second, slow movements of both concertos interlink here as in the film cross-cutting technique, and we swap roles, Lukasz leading the Bach theme while I take up Rodrigo's.Inch Album Tracks 1.
