Two new releases on ANAKLASIS. PWM’s enthusiastically received new label launches its HERITAGE series with an archive recording of Stanisław Moniuszko’s opera The Raftsman. This is a pearl of Polish phonography, featuring consummate opera singers of the mid-twentieth century. And that’s not the only surprise. Also coming out is an album of music by one of the most outstanding Polish composers of the twentieth century, the still underexposed Roman Palester. That disc is the second in the PORTRAITS series, following Maciej Zieliński’s Archipelago.

It is a musical-literary tale about a quest for identity, truth, and for what makes us human.

The authors spin a tale about the dual human nature. THE TALE OF THE HEART. FAVOLA IN MUSICA – the album that presents their joint project – will go on sale on 6th October.
