Over the centuries, the idiom of Polishness has been marked and emphasised in music in various ways. The entire oeuvre of Fryderyk Chopin is suffused with the ‘Polish spirit’, as are the operas of Stanisław Moniuszko, for example, or Michał Kleofas Ogiński’s polonaise ‘Pożegnanie ojczyzny’ [Farewell to the homeland]. The output of Karol Szymanowski, Wojciech Kilar and Henryk Mikołaj Górecki is also associated with Polishness.

VIRTUOSITY WITH A FLOURISH. ELŻBIETA SIKORA’S CONCERTOS ALBUM PREMIERES ON 2ND DECEMBER!

When asked to attempt a definition of her music, she called it lyrical expressionism. The choice of this term says much about the emotional intensity of Elżbieta Sikora’s music, which may reflect the experience of her two home countries, Poland and France, but is also a consequence of her artistic maturation in an age when two powerful trends – the avant-garde and neo-Classicism – were vying for the palm. Such a label may also result from the artist’s focus on the listener as her target, whom she invariably attempts to surprise, shock, or bewilder.
