Ewa Podles, the renowned Polish mezzo-soprano, delivers a captivating performance in this 2015 release from Accentus Music. The album showcases her extraordinary vocal range and emotional depth through a carefully curated selection of works by two of Poland's most celebrated composers, Witold Lutosławski and Karol Szymanowski.
The centerpiece of the album is Lutosławski's Concerto for Orchestra, a three-movement work that exemplifies the composer's innovative approach to orchestration and form. Podles' interpretation brings out the intricate details and dynamic contrasts of this complex piece, offering a fresh perspective on a modern classic.
Complementing the concerto are three fragments from Szymanowski's Op. 5, beautifully sung by Podles. These pieces, "Moja pieśń wieczorna," "Jestem i płaczę," and "Święty Boże," showcase Szymanowski's lyrical genius and Podles' ability to convey profound emotion through her voice.
With a total runtime of 46 minutes, this album is a concise yet powerful exploration of Polish musical heritage. Podles' impeccable technique and expressive phrasing make this a standout release for fans of opera and classical vocal music.
