Marcin Nale z-Niesiolowski - Mala Filharmonia [COMPACT DISCS] date 01/01/1998

Although their first joint appearance on a Polish stage took place 6 years ago, it is in 2020 that their debut album is launched by the DUX record tag. Violinist Malgorzata Wasiucionek and pianist Sylwia Michalik present the album Enescu / Prokofiev / Szymanowski to the public. Currently, both artists define their cooperation as an absolute professional priority. Although each of them could endow at least a few outstanding musicians with their achievements, they observe the world through the prism of chamber music, being a tandem of charismatic artists. The duo is characterized by similar artistic views, excellent stage understanding and, above all, a fascination with the repertoire featured on the album.

Beloved London-born, Brooklyn-based singer/songwriter Teddy Thompson has returned with the exquisitely crafted Never Be The Same, his first collection of original material since 2020. Across ten tracks, Thompson refines his craft via an exploration of music's enduring preoccupations - love, longing, and the uneasy passage of time. This album wasn't built upon a grand narrative. There was no self-imposed exile, no forced reinvention. Instead, it is centered around an exhortation that is threaded through the songs like a refrain InchNever Be The Same,Inch it's title only revealing itself to Thompson after he'd completed the recording. InchIt's a phrase that, unconsciously, I used twice. And when I saw it on the page, I realized, this is the message of this album,Inch says Thompson. If there is a message, it's that change is not only inevitable but essential - even when you'd rather stay exactly where you are.
