Polonaises for Violin & Piano

The present album by Zuzanna Budzynska and Szymon Ogryzka can be regarded as a short anthology of polonaise in the work of highly regarded Polish composers. Each of the seven works recorded on this album is a manifestation of an ingenious adaptation of Polish folklore based on violin music. As the artist herself points out, the work of the composers presented on this album has a special meaning for her- Karol Lipinski was born in her hometown, Henryk Wieniawski came to Lublin to attend the school where he graduated with his degree in music, and for many years, Emil Mlynarsi was the rector of the University with which the violinist is currently associated. The album also contains Piotr Wrobel's transcription of three Polonaises op. 9 Karol Lipinski, premiered by Zuzanna Budzynska in 2017.
