Info for Polish Wind Quintets, Vol. 2

The Cracow Golden Quintet return with another compilation in which they present outstanding works by six Polish composers of the 20th and 21st centuries.

The Cracow Golden Quintet is a spectacular group of professional virtuoso musicians who have developed a magically intimate bond of musical understanding.

Cracow Golden Quintet

Cracow Golden Quintet
is an ensamble made up of instrumentalists who want to express the beauty and purity of the wind quintet’s sound with their passion and commitment. It consists of soloists of symphony orchestras, also rich in experience of playing in chamber music groups and solo performances. The unique selection of instruments - flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon and horn - allows to obtain an unbuttoned palette of tone colors. Despite the diversity, the ensamble creates one musical organism, meeting the most sophisticated requirements of composers for chamber music performers.

In their repertoire are included mainly works of classical music: from the classical era to the contemporary music. Thanks to the individual skills of each musician, creativity, work on exceptional sound quality and stable intonation, the band exhibits extraordinary interpretations of the works of Mozart, Ligeti, Ibert, Arnold, Agay, Nielsen, Barber and many others. The quintet also specializes in performing and promoting Polish music. The repertoire prepared for participation in the International Polish Music Competition in Rzeszów contains compositions by M. Spisak. T. Szeligowski, G. Bacewicz, T. Paciorkiewicz, W. Kilar. It is constantly expanded with new works by Polish composers - especially those forgotten, rarely presented on concert hall stages - and extremely valuable in the context of Polish national heritage. The quintet also performs contemporary music, taking part in world premieres and recordings of 20th and 21st century pieces.
