On 23 January 2021, the music world celebrated the hundredth anniversary of the death of Władysław Żeleński, the founder and long-term director of the Conservatory of Music in Cracow and one of the most outstanding representatives of the Romantic era in Poland.

The present album contains studio recordings of two great chamber music works, showing the excellent compositional technique of the Polish artist. The recordings of both works vividly make us aware of the enormous potential of Żeleński as a composer.

What is more, each of the pieces, despite their apparent simplicity and formal transparency, is marked by a large dose of individualism and expressive and emotionally distinctiveness. All this makes the aforementioned works by Żeleński one of the greatest showpieces in the history of chamber music in the world.
