Palester / Krupa / Zdunik - Muzyka Kameralna 1 - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

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the majority of Palester's oeuvre, these works have never been previously recorded and the scores of most of the remain unpublished.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.
