Zalesinska - Songs - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Piotr Maszynski (1855-1934) Piesni / Songs vol. 2

The undeniable traits of Felicjan Szopski's output are the following folk music and works by Fryderyk Chopin as his sources of inspiration; nurturing national elements while striving to discover new musical means, different musical narratives, and innovative harmonic solutions; attention to every detail of the composition; well-thought-out, consistently implemented ambitious musical thought remaining in a permanent and unbreakable contact with words. Szopski would select his texts with extraordinary reverence, very consistently, only by Polish writers he knew personally. Szopski's musical thought conveys the message and the mood of the words, fully reflecting the character of the text. This selection of his songs are performed by soprano Agnieszka Niewiadomska and pianist Szymon Blaszynski.

Thanks to Joseph Herter and the materials he provided, after almost twenty years the achievements and figure of the post-Romantic emigrant composer Zygmunt Stojowski emerged from the depths of oblivion, regaining his rightful position in the musical history of the Polish nation. Zygmunt Stojowski is increasingly recognized and appreciated as a composer, pianist and an outstanding teacher. His piano, symphonic and chamber music is an object of research, and is increasingly appearing in concert hall programs. Meanwhile, in published materials and manuscript that make up Stojowski's compositional output, vocal forms (mainly songs) appear constantly, albeit irregularly, among various instrumental forms. Stojowski, as a student of Wladyslaw Zelenski in Kraków, was brought up in the spirit of the Romantic tradition, which both appreciated and used the form of song, so it is not surprising that they also can be found among Zygmunt Stojowski's compositions. On this new , his songs are interpreted by soprano Magdalena Molendowska and pianist Julia Samojlo. Album Tracks 1.
