Description:

Canticum Canticorum Salomonis by Krzysztof Penderecki, released 24 September 2012. This version of Canticum Canticorum Salomonis comes as a 1xCD. - PASICHNYK, OLGA / RAFAL BARTMINSKI

The range of Penderecki's music is exemplified by this disc, which presents five works written over a period of nearly 40 years. Hymne an den heiligen Adalbert was composed in 1997 and evokes the martyred eighth-century Bishop of Prague through spare but fervent gestures. More austere, but intense in it's focus, is Song of the Cherubim, whilst Canticum Canticorum Salomis is a richly sensuous exploration of the Song of Songs. Kosmogonia explores a complex sound tapestry. Strophen (1959) was a breakthrough work - spare, intricate and marvelously tensile. In 2002 Antoni Wit became managing and artistic director of the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra and Choir. He has received six GRAMMY nominations for Penderecki's St Luke Passion in 2004 (8.557149), a Polish Requiem in 2005 (8.557386-87), Seven Gates of Jerusalem in 2007 (8.557766), Utrenja in 2009 (8.572031) and Karol Szymanowski's Stabat Mater in 2008 (8.570724) and Symphonies Nos. 1 and 4 in 2009 (8.570722).

The CD "Canticum Canticorum/Kosmogonia/+" by Wit, Pasichnyk, Bartminski, and the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra presents a captivating journey through Polish contemporary classical music. Featuring works by renowned composer Krzysztof Penderecki, this album includes the mystical "Canticum Canticorum Salomonis" (Song of Songs), the cosmic-inspired "Kosmogonia," and additional pieces that showcase Penderecki's innovative approach to choral and orchestral writing. The performances are led by acclaimed conductor Antoni Wit, whose interpretations have been celebrated worldwide for their depth and precision. Soprano Olga Pasichnyk and tenor Rafal Bartminski bring expressive vocal artistry to these demanding scores. Naxos, the label behind this release, is internationally recognized for its commitment to high-quality recordings at accessible prices and has played a pivotal role in bringing lesser-known masterpieces to global audiences. Antoni Wit stands out as one of Poland?s leading conductors with an extensive discography on Naxos; his collaborations with top soloists like Pasichnyk?an award-winning soprano known for her versatility?and Bartminski further elevate this recording.
