Description
The album we present you with features compositions by Polish composer Krzysztof Meyer (b 1943). This music, written in the 1970s and 1980s, despite the passage of time, still intrigues the audience with its beautiful, narrative melody and interesting formal solutions.
Krzysztof Meyer is a composer who eagerly refers to early musical traditions, entering into a dialogue with them. He is also familiar with the concept of programme music: his music communicates with the world, tells about it, makes memories, co-operates with the listener's imagination.
The composition Canti Amadei – Concerto da camera per violoncello, Op. 63 refers to one of Krzysztof Meyer's favourite artists – Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. In this five-movement, dynamic chamber concerto, Meyer included quotations from works of the great Viennese. In turn, the second of the recorded compositions, Symphony No. 5 for string orchestra, Op. 44, transfers the listener into the world of a sonic tale in which the narrative is taken over by successive instruments or their groups, influencing the listener's imagination through textural and colouristic changes.
Among the performers, there are cellist Bartosz Koziak and the Polish Chamber Philharmonic Orchestra Sopot under the baton of Rafal Janiak.
