About this product
Roman Palester (1907-1989) was a man of great erudition, well-versed in the literature and art of his day, as is evidenced, for example, by his regular programmes for Radio Free Europe. The radio station, where he worked as head of the culture department for twenty years (1952-1972), provided him with a substitute of home. It made him feel closer to Poland and it's affairs - since announcing his decision to emigrate in 1950, he had been a persona non grata in his homeland, banned as a man and as an artist. This is why his music is still so little known - it has not been performed for years and in many cases has not been published either. And yet it is very much worth exploring and incorporating into the canon of Polish 20th-century culture, as is evidenced by the present recording. The three substantial vocal-instrumental works by Roman Palester included in it - Kolacze [The Wedding Cake] to words by Szymon Szymonowic, Trzy wiersze Czeslawa Milosza [Three Poems by Czeslaw Milosz] and Listy do Matki [Letters to the Mother] to words by Juliusz Slowacki - present various hues of the composer's musical world. Written in different periods of his life - Kolacze in 1942, Three Poems by Czeslaw Milosz in 1973-1977, and Letters to the Mother towards the end of his life (1984-1987) - they perfectly convey the musical style close to the composer in each period, as well as the feelings and emotions he struggled with at the time.

This album is the latest installment in the series of recordings of compositions by Roman Palester, which have been produced by the University of Warsaw Foundation in cooperation with the University of Warsaw Library. Following on discs devoted to Palester's chamber works for two violins, his piano compositions, and his string quartets, this recording presents works for string trio, violin and cello, and for string trio with oboe. As with the majority of Palester's oeuvre, these works have never been previously recorded and the scores of most of the remain unpublished. The autograph manuscripts of these works are held by the University of Warsaw Library, to whom they were given by the composer in his will. During Palester's lifetime, on the String Trio No. 2 was published (but this edition, by the Italian Suvini Zebroni is effectively impossible to find today). The Sonata for Cello and Violin was most likely no performed during Palester's lifetime. The remaining works were performed sporadically and were sometimes performed for radio broadcast; they however have little traction amon performers or contemporary audiences. Album Tracks 1.
