Luca Fiorentini and Jakub Tchorzewski’s concert was recorded on September 25, 2014 at the Oratorio San Filippo Neri in Bologna as part of the “Il Nuovo l’Antico” section of the XXXIII edition of the Bologna Festival. “Il Nuovo l’Antico” was in turn divided into two cycles: “Delizie e Tenebre” and “La Triade Polacca: Chopin-Szymanowski-Lutoslawski”, conceived by the artistic director of the Festival, the Venetian musicologist Prof. Mario Messinis - former artistic director of the Biennale Musica in Venice and of the RAI Orchestras of Turin and Milan, as well as superintendent of the Teatro La Fenice in Venice -, to whom this recording is dedicated. The duo Fiorentini-Tchorzewski presented a repertoire that spans more than a century, adding to the “triad” the living Polish composer Krzysztof Meyer. The cycle “La Triade Polacca: Chopin-Szymanowski-Lutoslawski” was organized in collaboration with the Polish Institute of Rome.
