Debussy Prokofiev Lutosławski

DUX 1358
• Sonata for violin and piano, L. 140 (1917) • Sonata No.1 in F minor Op.80 • Partita for Violin & Piano (1984)

The presented CD is a record of three unusual, apparently different and in fact very closely related chamber music works which grew out of the French musical tradition and connected to (each in its own way) the great movement of the 20th-century music, namely the Neoclassicism. Therefore, juxtaposing those pieces is, on the one hand, an invitation to the intellectual game consisting in tracking the logic of the mutual impact of works of three brilliant composers, on the other hand, it is a presentation of different music, as far as the style, emotions and performance are concerned - Karolina Piątkowska-Nowicka /violin/ and Piotr Nowicki /piano/ express themselves with the same ease and distinctness both in the elusive composition of Debussy, sharp, dramatic Prokofiev’s music and aleatoric sound material of Lutosławski’s Partita.
