Please Note Not All Our New Items Are Shrink Wrapped.All items shipped within 3 working days of payment.Yet another, after Interferences (2017) and Labyrinth (2019) original CD album by Jerzy Madrawski points to inspiration as its leading theme. Undoubtedly, this composer-accordionist has been inspired by the instrument itself u2013 many of his ideas are organically derived from the instrument's isomorphic keyboard, accordion-specific bellows techniques, or its sound capabilities.rr

This album with its stylistic variety abundance of original ideas and references to various musical idioms, is an interesting review of the Madrawski's artistic output.rrr

Concerto No. 2 for accordion and chamber orchestra, which opens the record, resonates with problems of the modern world, but retains its typically virtuoso style by giving the soloist an opportunity to demonstrate their skills. The source of inspiration is clearly stated in the dedication to the poignant Movement II u2013 'in memory of Covid-19 victims'.rr

Cadenza is an excellent study of the textural and technical capabilities of the concert accordion. This piece, with its loose structure, contains fragments which are starkly contrasted in terms of tempo. rr

Ballada reveals inspiration from Frederic Chopin's music. The piece's narration isn't short of romantic gestures and its structural organization is based upon the juxtaposition of the marzurka-like theme with atonal virtuoso passages.rr

Without title for violin and piano crowns the album. It begins with a solemn Adagio, dominated by counterpoint of highly chromaticized musical material, which unexpectedly turns into a klezmer-like Allegro full of lightness and humour.
