The Wajnberg Trio consists of renowned chamber musicians who every day engage in artistic activities in many fields – the pianist Piotr Sałajczyk, the violinist Szymon Krzeszowiec and the cellist Arkadiusz Dobrowolski. They share a fascination with the life and work of the outstanding Polish composer, Mieczyslaw Wajnberg, and the passion for performing chamber music.
The Wajnberg Trio made its debut in 2016 during the 20th edition of the Tansman Festival in Lódz, and its repertoire is primarily the works of 20th century Polish composers. This CD – containing works bu three Polish émigré composers: Mieczysław Wajnberg, Aleksander Tansman, Andrzej Czajkowski – is the first in the ensemble’s output.
