Iconic songs by Zygmunt Konieczny that audiences of Ewa Demarczyk loved decades ago in a new arrangement by Cezary Duchnowski. The latest ANAKLASIS album featuring Agata Zubel, Andrzej Bauer, Bartek Wąsik and the National Polish Radio Symphony Orchestra conducted by Alexander Humala is now available for purchase.

Videos will soon be available on the YouTube channel of Polskie Wydawnictwo Muzyczne.

The theme of Krzysztof Knittel’s work is refuge and the uncertainty and anxiety about the unknown associated with it, as well as the other side of this topic, i.e. the need to provide help and shelter. The text of the oratorio is based on a poem by Tadeusz Sławek. The piece features singing, recitations, choral parts and improvisations based on the traditions of the Middle East. The album was premiered on 15 March during the 11th Festival of Premieres in Katowice.

The jubilee year of the 5th anniversary of ANAKLASIS was an intensive period of work which resulted in incredible project and numerous awards. We expanded our catalogue with new, inspiring albums and established cooperation with valued musicians. The concerts and meetings with artists organised by us also proved to be equally valuable. Below, there is a short summary of our activities over the past 12 months.

Five years of operations, fifty reasons to celebrate. ANAKLASIS birthday comes in November – time to sum up the label’s presence in the music record market.

Can one shared musical language be worked out for both contemporary jazz and fifteenth-century polyphony? LAETA MUNDUS, the latest album under the ANAKLASIS label, brings these two ostensibly irreconcilable worlds together in a kind of ‘harmony of the spheres’. The album’s premiere will be coupled with a concert to be held on 12 December in the series ‘ANAKLASIS on the air’.

The 4CD album featuring songs and instrumental works by the Silesian master goes on sale as of 8 November. Released by the ANAKLASIS music label, it will be premiered on 3 December during a special PWM Edition concert held as part of the 12th International Days of Henryk Mikołaj Górecki at the Silesian Philharmonic in Katowice.

Although Ludomir Różycki - one of the most important representatives of ‘Young Poland’ group of composers - enjoyed spectacular success as a composer during his lifetime, his works are rarely included in concert programmes today. It is therefore worth remembering his exceptional art.
