A panorama of compositional output combining Polish and Yiddish inter-war hits with sorrowful, despairing tangos from the Ghetto. The disc Bajgelman. Get to Tango represents a twenty-first-century take on the output of the outstanding musician Dawid Bajgelman, from Łódź. These arrangements and reworkings of selected works by one of the greatest composers of Jewish theatre music were produced by the outstanding musician and composer Jarosław Bester. The album comes out on 11 December.

The ANAKLASIS record label, created by PWM just one year ago (on 22 November 2019), already boasts sixteen albums, and it shows no signs of slowing down, with further releases announced.

Paderewski was a great composer. Herdzin is a great improviser. The fusion of the worlds of these two musical giants has given rise to a new phenomenon, which we share with you today. On the 160th anniversary of the birth of Ignacy Jan Paderewski, it is time to prick up our ears to the most beautiful impressions on his music.

ANAKLASIS, a CD publishing house devoted to contemporary music, operating under the auspices of PWM Edition, is launching a new series called OPERA.

The two discs featuring music by Stanisław Moniuszko have now been joined by another ANAKLASIS release devoted to this outstanding Polish composer. Following e-Songbook and The Raftsman, PWM proudly presents the three-disc BOX Moniuszko, comprising the most beautiful twentieth-century recordings: the most famous songs, well-known arias and ensembles, and overtures to Moniuszko operas, part of the HERITAGE series.

Two new releases on ANAKLASIS. PWM’s enthusiastically received new label launches its HERITAGE series with an archive recording of Stanisław Moniuszko’s opera The Raftsman. This is a pearl of Polish phonography, featuring consummate opera singers of the mid-twentieth century. And that’s not the only surprise. Also coming out is an album of music by one of the most outstanding Polish composers of the twentieth century, the still underexposed Roman Palester. That disc is the second in the PORTRAITS series, following Maciej Zieliński’s Archipelago.
