  • Description

    The very title of the presented album, Musical Landscapes, promises a musical journey through musical landscapes, each of which characterized by a different tradition and mood. The works come from different eras and were composed by different artists. On this CD, they share an extremely interesting arrangement idea and a perfect performance by the musicians from the guitar ensemble Cracow Guitar Quartet.

    The idea of 'musical landscapes' refers to the cultural background from which the individual pieces originate: the Far North (fragments of the music drama Peer Gynt by Edward Grieg), rainy Cuba (from the composition by Leo Brouwer), hot Spain (Fandango by Luigi Boccherini) or Night on Bald Mountain by Modest Mussorgsky, full of fiery Eastern Slavic temperament. Well-known works, such as the famous Brandenburg Concerto by Johann Sebastian Bach, have, however, gained a completely unexpected sound due to a guitar ensemble transcription. Thanks to this, eight musical journeys recorded on the album are a return to familiar places but in a completely new version.

    The ensemble consists of Milosz Maczynski, Joanna Baran-Nosiadek, Lukasz Dobrowolski and Mateusz Puter.
