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.

Aleksander Nowak continues his original cycle of compositions that enter into a dialogue with most recent Polish literary works. The album premiere of his opera based on Marcin Wicha’s Nike-awarded book ‘Things I Didn’t Throw Out’ will take place during the AUKSODRONE festival in Tychy.

Musical themes from Coppola’s legendary movie, as deconstructed and reinterpreted by this wayward duo, will be performed at a live concert accompanied by the premiere of THEMES OF DRACULA from ANAKLASIS on vinyl records.

A common memory game that allows us to look at an ordinary family from an unusual perspective. FAMILY ALBUM - an opera by Jerzy Kornowicz based on a libretto by Michał Rusinek - is another premiere of the ANAKLASIS. This time, the label’s audience is expanded to include the youngest of listeners. The album will be released on June 21.

Time passes constantly, changing the world and its soundscape around us. The title IL TEMPO PASSA may be both a reflection on the impermanence of life, world and things and a piece of advice to enjoy the moment. The latest album by ANAKLASIS presents Joanna Wnuk-Nazarowa’s cameral and symphonic works from recent years. Premiere on 28 May 2024, on the composer’s 75th birthday.

The instrumental concerto, one of the oldest musical genres, has undergone numerous transformations over the centuries. Composers of today still frequently exploit the concept of opposing the orchestra to the soloist. The latest ANAKLASIS release, VARIOUS FORMS OF FRICTION, comprises three original concertos composed by Krzysztof Wołek, performed here by Ensemble OMN in dialogue with soloists: successively, a pianist, a cellist, and a bass clarinettist. The album will enter distribution on 22nd September.

Spectacularly successful as Ludomir Różycki’s music was in his lifetime, it is seldom programmed nowadays. All the same, such remarkable art could hardly fall into utter oblivion. It has attracted and fascinated excellent jazz pianist Kuba Stankiewicz, who has translated it into the language of jazz. The effects have been recorded and released on ANAKLASIS label’s most recent album, INSPIRED BY LUDOMIR RÓŻYCKI, which goes on sale as of 28th August.

ANAKLASIS label’s catalogue offers releases of new Polish music on three types of carriers. Apart from compact and Blu-ray discs, vinyl records are an important part of the offer. As of 31st July, two items already known to jazz and improvised music fans in CD format will also be on sale on LPs. These are: LEGEND (a contemporary look at the music of Henryk Wieniawski) and SZYMANOWSKI / X-RAY (a modern take on the works of Karol Szymanowski).
