Words Painted with Sounds | box

A set created for those who love vocal and vocal-instrumental music.

The CDs includes works by Jan Antoni Wichrowski and Józef Świder written to poems by Krzysztof Kamil Baczyński. Songs composed to words by Adam Mickiewicz and Leopold Staff are also featured. Recordings of psalms by six Polish artists active in the 20th and 21st centuries are an encounter with contemporary compositions on the themes of love, mercy and goodness. The combination of touching lyrics with the beautiful sound of the NFM Choir and NFM Leopoldinum Orchestra will move every sensitive ear and heart. Composer Paweł Łukaszewski was invited to collaborate. The last album in the box features works by leading Polish composers of the 20th century, inspired by Polish folk music. All works perfectly reflect the character and mood of the native musical tradition.
