Silesian String Quartet
Wojciech 艢wita艂a (piano)

Celebrations of the 100th anniversary of Mieczys艂aw Weinberg 鈥 the composer Shostakovich famously hailed as his musical successor 鈥 continue with an all-Polish programme from the first half of the 20th century that sets Weinberg鈥檚 own music alongside that of his great contemporary Gra偶yna Bacewicz.

Folk themes take on a new sophistication, cleverly manipulated and moulded in Bacewicz鈥檚 mature masterpiece the Piano Quintet No. 1.

Poland鈥檚 award-winning Silesian String Quartet are joined here by pianist Wojciech 艢wita艂a.
