Composer's Artistic Vision

Paweł Szymański's "Limeryki" (Limericks) oscillates between post-Webernian serialism and American repetitive music, creating a subtly humorous lyricism.

Performer Biography

The performers on this album, Jan Krzeszowiec (flute), Szymon Krzeszowiec (violin), and Adam Krzeszowiec (cello), are brothers.

Composition History

Most of the pieces on this album were written specifically for the Krzeszowiec brothers and are dedicated to them.

Recording & Production

One of the pieces on the album, Elżbieta Sikora's "Trio 3x1=5," is a live recording from the 20th Silesian Days of Contemporary Music.

Recording & Production

All the works on this album are world premiere recordings, meaning this is the first time they have been released on disc.

Compositional Technique

Zbigniew Bargielski's "Domino" is structured using his 'block system,' where contrasting segments are introduced after a variation of all previous ones, sometimes separated by musical 'silence.'

Composer's Artistic Vision

Elżbieta Sikora's "Trio 3x1=5" explores the constantly changing dynamics of a musical triangle, with the flutist acting as the 'spiritus movens' who provokes dialogue.
