Hear the Time

The album features songs by Polish composers created during the 20th century. The entire collection is highly diverse in terms of style. From Zarzycki's late-Romantic songs, in the musical and textual layer, through Rogowski's cycles - inspired by the Orient and Croatian folklore - and Sawa's songs (recorded for the first time on this album), using new expressive techniques, to Lukaszewski's songs, completely contemporary, whose musical language refers to the meditative Hindu music. Rogowski's cycle is exceptionally beautiful, where the soprano and the piano are accompanied by the violin in virtuoso cadenzas. Songs for an extended ensemble, with cello and saxophone, provide artists with an opportunity to show the potential of outstanding chamber musicians, and all songs are saturated with the expressive singing of Dorota Calek.
