GENRE: chamber music
The Krzeszowiec brothers – Szymon (known from the Silesian String Quartet and Wajnberg Trio), Jan (LutosAir Quintet, NFM Wrocław Philharmonic), and Adam (the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra, Polish Cello Quartet) are artists with a well-established status in the Polish music world. All three teach on a regular basis at the Karol Szymanowski Academy of Music in Katowice. Each of them pursues an artistic path of his own. What they share is a love of chamber music and a passion for discovering contemporary repertoire, both of which occupy a special place in their artistic work.
TRIO is their original project, which draws on the experience of each of these three individualities. When performing their repertoire, specially written for, and (in most cases) dedicated to the trio, they communicate without words, discovering a com- mon musical language. The composers of the works on this album are distinguished and highly regarded Polish composers: Paweł Szymański, Aleksander Nowak, Rafał Augustyn, Krzysztof Meyer, Zbigniew Bargielski, and Elżbieta Sikora. The compo- sitions on this album have never been released before; this is their world premiere recording.
