Piotr Sałajczyk (Piano)

Piotr Sałajczyk, photo: Karolina Sałajczyk The programme of this concert is an excellent illustration of the presence of the so-called ‘Polish tradition’ in piano music. While listening to works by two twentieth-century classics, the spirit of Chopin will discreetly come through. First to be heard will be the Piano Sonata composed by the 21-year-old Witold Lutosławski, at a time when he was fascinated by the instrumental music of Karol Szymanowski. Here, the piano reveals itself to be a source of myriad tone colours. In Szymanowski’s Masques, the piano will show itself as a narrator and portraitist. Three figures – Scheherazade, Tantris (Tristan) and Don Juan – form the literary warp of a work that is enigmatic and ambiguous in its meaning. These ‘musical masks’ will be framed by miniatures from two cycles inspired by Chopin’s music: Szymanowski’s Mazurkas and Lutosławski’s Etudes. The Polish Music Scene is a programme of music organised by the National Institute of Music and Dance in collaboration with the Warsaw Philharmonic and financed by the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage. We present Polish artists and Polish compositions – particularly works not often performed. We wish to promote the performance of Polish music, inspire musicians to turn to this repertoire and generate interest among audiences in Polish musical output as broadly understood. The programme is open to instrumentalists and singers, soloists and chamber ensembles. The programmes featuring Polish music, selected via a competition, will be performed in the Chamber Music Hall of the Warsaw Philharmonic and at other concert venues around Poland.

FudalaRot Duo, Wojciech Fudala (Cello), Michał Rot (Piano)

FudalaRot Duo, photo: from the ensemble's archive Fryderyk Chopin composed the Grand Duo concertant in E major for cello and piano in collaboration with an acquaintance of his, the French cellist Auguste Franchomme, at the turn of 1832 and 1833. This instrumental duo, extremely popular in its day, represents the virtuoso-sentimental style brillant and is a paraphrase of themes from Giacomo Meyerbeer’s opera Robert le diable. Karol Szymanowski’s Sonata in D minor, Op. 9 for violin and piano was written in Berlin in 1904. It is regarded as one of the first works of his early creative period, in which the characteristics of his individual style were fully revealed. In contrast, Roxana’s Song, from the opera King Roger, completed 20 years later, is an ecstatic vocalisation of a distinctly oriental character. Grave for cello and piano was composed by Witold Lutosławski in 1981, in memory of musicologist Stefan Jarociński. In this piece, he used motifs from Claude Debussy’s opera Pelléas et Mélisande. Mieczyslaw Weinberg’s Sonata No. 2 in G minor, Op. 63 for cello and piano was composed in 1959 at the request of the famous Russian cellist Mstislav Rostropovich, who was a friend of the composer. This three-movement work, representing the neoclassical style, is characterised by a wealth of melodic invention and expressive means.

Nemesis Quartet, Łukasz Dyczko (Soprano saxophone), Oskar Rzążewski (Alto saxophone), Karol Mastalerz (Tenor Saxophone), Wojciech Chałupka (Baritone saxophone)

Nemesis Quartet, photo: Alina Birjuk Today’s concert in the Polish Music Scene series offers a synthesis of Classical forces with Romantic and twentieth-century repertoire strongly rooted in romanticism. A small ensemble of wind instruments (Harmonie) was typical of music primarily from the eighteenth century, becoming less common in the following century with the expansion of works for string instruments or mixed forces, often with piano. Thus the nineteenth-century saxophone in a quartet line-up is a kind of link between the historical type of performance ensemble and more recent repertoire, the main thread of which consists of dances and the melodies of Polish folk songs. Alongside Chopin’s Mazurkas (de rigueur in such a concert), we will hear an early krakowiak by Zygmunt Noskowski and compositions by his most distinguished pupils: mazurkas by Karol Szymanowski and Ludomir Różycki. There will also be Szymon Laks’s Quartet No. 3, an emanation of the folk trend in neoclassicism, and a miniature by Lutosławski. A very interesting item on the programme is the virtuosic Fantasia on themes from Moniuszko’s Halka by the still too rarely performed Józef Nowakowski. This saxophone take on such diverse repertoire is certainly worth listening to!

The pianist’s compositions thrilled audiences in his own performances (in concerts and films) and over the decades established the canon of Polish jazz. It is worth remembering their context: it is in his music for the cinema that we find the source of the characteristic narrative quality of Komeda’s music. The lullabies – from the films Two Men and a Wardrobe and Rosemary’s Baby – show his compositional path from an early Polanski study to a Hollywood hit. Interesting are the themes linked to lyrics, be they an original part of the song (‘Before the Day Rises’) or a later addition (‘Without Tomorrow You Can’t Live’ and ‘It’s Not Bad’ from Goodbye, Till Tomorrow, as well as the ‘Grey Carol’ from the theatre music for Breakfast at Tiffany’s). Even the masterpieces from the Astigmatic album have cinematic roots: ‘Kattorna’ and ‘Svantetic’, the main theme and a developed motif from Cats. Finally, ‘Ballad for Bernt’, a wistful motif beautifully fused with the Masurian scenes in Knife in the Water. As a jazz theme, it works equally well.

Metropolis Piano Quartet, Sulamita Ślubowska (Violin), Dawid Jadamus (Viola), Łukasz Frant (Cello), Joanna Galon-Frant (Piano)

Metropolis Piano Quartet, photo: Grzesiek Mart These three realisations of the piano quartet, a rare genre in chamber music, by Polish composers – Józef Deszczyński (Quartet for Piano, Violin, Viola and Cello, Op. 39, published in 1828), Zygmunt Noskowski (Piano Quartet, Op. 8, 1876) and Aleksander Tansman (Suite-divertissement, 1929) – have in common not only the fact that they were forgotten works for most of the twentieth century, but also that when they returned to the repertoire in the new century, they proved a revelation for critics and audiences. Despite their different times of composition and purpose (Deszczyński's Quartet was written as a salon piece, while the works by Noskowski and Tansman were to be performed in the concert hall), all three works are characterised by an excellent mastery of form and technique. They were written by composers who were all accomplished instrumentalists, as is evident from their masterful handling of the difficult piano and string textures. Finally, all three composers encoded a message of Polishness in their quartets: Deszczyński by introducing a polonaise, Noskowski with a krakowiak, Tansman by evoking the echo of a native lullaby.

Réversion Ensemble, Izabela Kozak (Violin), Gabriela Kubarska (Violin), Szymon Stochniol (Viola), Monika Hartmann (Cello)

Réversion Ensemble, photo: Karolina Sałajczyk Polish composers first became interested in the string quartet genre in the late eighteenth century. We were not pioneers in the field. Western Europe had already been enjoying chamber music for thirty years; on Polish soil, meanwhile, salon music was yet to become popular. At that time, the heart of musical Europe was beating in Vienna and German cities, so whoever wanted to keep up with the masters had to turn their eyes and ears to the West. Polish composers also flocked to the musical centre of Europe. As is evident from the chamber music of composers of the first half of the nineteenth century – Józef Elsner, Franciszek Lessel, Karol Kurpiński and Stanisław Moniuszko – this was a period not of slavish imitation, but of active and creative dialogue with the latest musical achievements.

Jarosław Meisner, Mateusz Meisner, photo: Foto Adamek A concert of works for trombone and piano is a real treat for music lovers, as it is something of a rarity on concert platforms. This recital, prepared by the brothers Jarosław and Mateusz Meisner (trombone and piano respectively), will be filled entirely with music by Polish composers (in line with the principles behind the Polish Music Scene programme). The trombone is an essential component of every brass and symphony ensemble. However, it is rarely heard in solo works, though it has so much to offer. Its velvety sound, tunefulness and expressive qualities, as well as its purely technical, brilliant virtuosity – all of these qualities can be found in the pieces prepared for today’s concert. The Romantic and twentieth-century compositions selected by the artists reveal the various facets of the trombone, as well as little-known pages of Polish music. For while Kazimierz Serocki, Zygmunt Stojowski and Józef Nowakowski sometimes appear in the repertoire familiar to seasoned music lovers, compositions by Szymon Laks, Witold Friemann and Adam Mitscha remain largely unknown quantities in twentieth-century Polish music. Fortunately, performers are increasingly turning to these less recognised works, as is also the case here.

Boulez and the young generation

Sat, May 31, 2025, 19:30

Elbphilharmonie, Kleiner Saal (Hamburg)

Ema Nikolovska (Mezzo-Soprano), Adam Walker (Flute), Matthew Hunt (Clarinet), Mira Benjamin (Violin), Ruth Chinyere Gibson (Viola), Colin Alexander (Cello), Sean Shibe (Guitar), George Barton (Percussion), Sam Wilson (Percussion), Iris Vandenbos (Percussion), Alphonse Cemin (Conductor)

Pierre Boulez catapulted himself to the forefront of music pioneers in 1955 with his chamber cantata »Le marteau sans maître« (The Hammer Without a Master). Top young talents such as Ema Nikolovska and Sean Shibe, both Elbphilharmonie FAST LANE artists, juxtapose the Boulez with works by the next generation as part of the Hamburg International Music Festival with the motto »Future«: a brand new piece by drummer and Pulitzer Prize winner Tyshawn Sorey (also featured in the Elbphilharmonie’s »Jazz Drums« focus) and »Bel Canto« by Cassandra Miller, which is dedicated to the opera diva Maria Callas. »Le marteau sans maître« is one of Boulez’s most renowned signature works. He took three surrealist poems by the Frenchman René Char from his eponymous collection as the starting point for this composition for alto voice and six instruments. This is not a traditional setting of text to music though. While the verses are sung, they are also interpreted purely instrumentally – resulting in an almost labyrinthine realm of words and sounds that invite the listener in to search and discover.
