Description
The album contains pieces for wind orchestra - a somewhat forgotten ensemble in recent years, although extremely graceful. Grzegorz Duchnowski dedicates his compositional output largely to wind instruments, in various configurations, making an important contribution to the Polish repertoire for wind orchestras. Wind orchestras have a rich tradition in Poland, and the pieces contain many references to Polish folk music; patriotic tones can be found here too. However, there are also numerous harmonies, sounds and rhythms reminiscent of jazz big bands or even heroic motifs from film music. It is light music, colourful, full of different moods, in which wind instruments per-fectly harmonize with the extensive percussion section.
The musicians, also associated with the Sinfonia Varsovia orchestra and other leading Warsaw ensembles, present an incredible cooperation, a wide range of dynamics, colours and articulation, thus showing the full potential of this unusual instrumentation.
