35th Karol Szymanowski Music Days

2012-06-25
Nine Zakopane concerts in July will be filled with pearls of Polish piano music, chamber music and orchestral music, always in the best performances. The history of the Karol Szymanowski Music Days reaches back to 1977 when the first festival dedicated to Karol Szymanowski was organised in Zakopane on the initiative of Maciej Pinkwart, curator of the Karol Szymanowski Museum. Up until 1987, the Karol Szymanowski Music Days took place in March, and later in September. Starting from the tenth edition, the festival takes place in July – the peak tourist month in the Podhale region. Symphonic and chamber music concerts are held in Zakopane’s magnificent churches and attractive galleries. And this is how it will be this year; due to the ongoing renovation of the historic "Atma" house, Szymanowski's music will travel to the Orski Gallery (Galeria Orskiego), the H. Zamoyski Municipal Art Gallery, the Jasny Palace and the Holy Cross Church.

THE TALE OF THE HEART. FAVOLA IN MUSICA: a joint project by Aleksander Nowak and Radek Rak from ANAKLASIS on sale as of 6th October

It is a musical-literary tale about a quest for identity, truth, and for what makes us human. The new stage work by Aleksander Nowak – which is, at the same time, Radek Rak’s operatic debut – explores the sources of good and evil, fusing reality with mythology and steering towards ‘the left-hand side of the world’. 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.

 

Różycki’s Adventures in Jazzland. The album INSPIRED BY LUDOMIR RÓŻYCKI from ANAKLASIS on sale as of 28th August

Spectacularly successful as Ludomir Różycki’s music was in his lifetime, it is seldom programmed nowadays. All the same, such remarkable art could hardly fall into utter oblivion. It has attracted and fascinated excellent jazz pianist Kuba Stankiewicz, who has translated it into the language of jazz. The effects have been recorded and released on ANAKLASIS label’s most recent album, INSPIRED BY LUDOMIR RÓŻYCKI, which goes on sale as of 28th August.

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.
