The Meccore String Quartet's interpretations of the Kisielewski, Palester and Regamey quartets have recieved numerous awards, including a nomination for the Corypheus of Polish Music.The three string quartets recorded here by the Meccore String Quartet share neoclassical features. In each of the quartets, however, this feature gains a different, individual face. Lightness of melodic invention, original harmony, flowing narrative, transparent texture and clear formal structure are the features that best reflect the character of Kisielewski's youthful String Quartet. The one-movement Palestra String Quartet No. 2, characterized by a dense, polyphonic texture, flexible melodic lines with a nostalgic expression and emotional intensity, is one of the most outstanding works of this genre in Polish music of the 20th century. Regamey's Quatuor a cordes is thoroughly modern music, full of seriousness, objective in expression and extremely focused.\r

Stefan Kisielewski (1911-1991), Konstanty Regamey (1907-1982) and Roman Palester (1907-1989) belonged to one generation of artists. Apart from music, all three of them were excellent writers and all loved Paris, where they spent a lot of time before the war, deepening their education. They are one of the most important Polish musical emigrants from Paris in the 20th century. Their attitude expressed a deep love of freedom. For each of them, the idea of freedom, equality and fraternity also meant deep disagreement with the Soviet enslavement of Poland after 1945. Their free, independent voice can also be heard in music.
