The wide range of moods and forms presented completes the picture of Grychtolowna's talent. The album includes also her most recent recordings made in 1999 with the Symphonic Orchestra of the National Philharmonic under Kazimierz Kord.
As the title promises, the record presents various colours of the guitar: the Argentinian milonga and tango (so typical of Astor Piazzola), subtle references to Chopin in the compositions of Alexander Tansman, Spanish climate in Joaquin Rodrigo's music, blues pastiche by Nikita Koshkin, and lastly, the most modern effects in Roland Dyens's "Libra Sonatine" with the use of the whole-tone scale.
The album features music quite rare on the Polish market: French music for transverse flute. The players are three early music specialists.
he sonatas on this album have been selected, arranged and performed by Wladyslaw Klosiewicz, one of the most oustanding harpsichordists now and an expert on old music interpretation. His interpretation is certainly superb, humorous and colourful.
The most Polish Chopin works interpreted by the young Japanese Rika Miyatani, a finalist in the 1995 Chopin Competition.
Here we have a splendid creation by the harpsichordist Wladyslaw Klosiewicz. The album is exceptional in that the temperament of the performer matches perfectly the unique qualities of Froberger's music.
Bach's Solo Cello Suites, although very precise in form, offer the player an unlimited range of interpretations. In each of the six suites the music is both perfectly structured and filled with a variety of moods, from carefree play to religious ecstasy.
