Katarzyna Wiwer, Marek Szlezer - "On the Strings of my Soul"

The composers of "Young Poland" rebelled against positivism, distrusting the belief that reason would explain and help solve the problems of man at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. In the songs - by Opieński, Raczyński, Sarnecka, Wertheim, Żeleński, Karłowicz and Gablenz - the word and sound create one coherent whole. The music flows, in melodic and sensual phrases, from the poetic text, its intonation and key mood. It is not against, but enters into a harmonious relationship, consistent with the structure and meaning of the poems. It highlights meanings and senses. A dozen or so such musical stories were collected for the album "On the Strings of my Soul" by Katarzyna Wiwer (soprano) and Marek Szlezer (piano). Publisher: RecArt. Release Date: February 2025
