Musique polonaise pour flûte Olkiewicz Duczmal Dudek - DUX1907 - DUX - Classique

The present album entitled Flute Pieces by Polish Composers is a treat for lovers of both Polish music and different versions of the sound of the flute. The featured works come from the output of various composers, from Feliks Rybinski, born in the 19th century, to Pawel Szymanski, one of the most outstanding contemporary artists. In addition, the album contains music by such artists as Tadeusz Szeligowski, Benedykt Konowalski and Jaroslaw Siwinski. The transverse flute or the piccolo flute play a major role in this music, although they are always accompanied by a traditional orchestra, piano or a set of percussion. Each of those ensembles brings out different articulation and tone colour qualities of the flute; each, in its own way, engages in dialogue with that instrument, drawing richly on both tradition and the sonic environment contemporary to the artists. It is a fascinating journey through the world of Polish music, heard in the light of flute music, of an exceptional and unique sound. On the album, it is Grzegorz Olkiewicz, one of the most outstanding Polish flautists, that lends his voice to the flutes. He is accompanied by the famous Amadeus Chamber Orchestra of Polish Radio conducted by Agnieszka Duczmal and the Warsaw Philharmonic Chamber Orchestra. Waldemar Malicki will play the piano, while Piotr Kostrzewa and Henryk Mikolajczyk will play the percussion.
