The year 2017 marks the 140th anniversary of the birthday and the 70th anniversary of the death of Feliks Nowowiejski and the present CD has been developed under a programme commemorating this very interesting, yet somewhat forgotten composer. Nowowiejski, a highly versatile composer, was ,in the first place, organist and he achieved genuine mastery in playing this instrument. This proficiency is perfectly rendered by the excellent interpretation of Elżbieta Karolak, which the listeners of this recording can enjoy. The characteristic practice of the organ improvisation is reflected in three compositions which directly refer to Christmas by quotations from Polish Christmas carols, as well as in the colourful, illustrative music of the Organ Symphony No. 3.
