About

Krzysztof Penderecki here conducts his own compositions, directing Bartłomiej Nizioł and Katarzyna Budnik in the Double Concerto for Violin, Viola and Orchestra, guitarist Piotr Przedbora in Przedbora’s arrangement of the Concerto for Viola and Orchestra, and a group of talented clarinettists in the Concerto Grosso no.2.

Finished in 2003, the Concerto Grosso no.2 by Krzysztof Penderecki, apart from its Spanish premiere, has not been presented to a wider audience for 15 years. The Concerto Grosso no.2 is a composition difficult to be considered only in the context of inspiration with the form of musical expression established in the Baroque era.

In addition to numerous Baroque references, the work contains a number of harmonic phrases identical to the music of late Neoromanticism and 20th-century expressionism. This album is, in essence, the first opportunity to present this fascinating piece to a wider audience. In addition to the work mentioned above, the album also includes a recording of Penderecki’s Viola Concerto, enjoying huge popularity over the world, arranged in 2018 for guitar and orchestra, and the Double Concerto for viola and cello, composed in 2012.
