Description
Tears, this visible attribute of sadness, paradoxically, can be a form of catharsis, a dam against despair. The sadness caused by an individual or collective experience of evil, transformed into the Christian hope for a change of fate, sometimes triggers a creative thought; it allows this experience of sadness to be transformed into the form of an artistic message. While composing Stabat Mater for a cappella choir in 1939, could Roman
Padlewski foresee that by dedicating this work to his mother he would draw her personal path of sorrow? The Psalms of the Future and Planctus – works by Joanna Wnuk-Nazarowa recorded on this album – had their world premieres with the participation of the excellent Singers’ Group of the City of Katowice Camerata Silesia under the direction of its creator, director, and conductor – Anna Szostak. The spirit of the theatre, the stage song, and the actor’s dialogue circulates through this music evoking Polish fears and hopes (probably permanently inscribed into our history) in an extremely suggestive
way thanks to the poet’s words.
