Ryszard Bukowski, the composer, was married five times, with three of his wives being pianists, and dedicated most of his piano compositions to his last wife, Maria Magdalena Janowska-Bukowska.

Recording & Production

This recording of Ryszard Bukowski's 'Lyrics' is pioneering because it features a baritone, Adam Kruszewski, whereas all previous performances used mezzo-sopranos.

Compositional Technique

Ryszard Bukowski's 'Concerto for Trumpet' blends 'classical' and 'jazzy' idioms, with a quasi-jazz group appearing sporadically as an ironic commentary.
