Description
Nowadays, meditation understood as a practice of the mind is very popular among those who strive for a good and fulfilled life. In common parlance, that term is associated with mental well-being, peace and relaxation. There are many things and phenomena that facilitate such a state. They also include reflective music, selected in accordance with the mood of the listener. Currently, there are many types of meditation music, but here we offer you something completely new: a journey into the musical past.
For Antoni Katski (1816–1899), a Polish composer and pianist, the term meditation was rather a byword for reflection on the beauty of nature and for a musical impression caused by exploring one's own emotional states. It was in piano miniatures, whose titles refer to nature, places visited, natural phenomena or the world of emotions, that the composer captured the quintessence of mood, reflection, and the magical "here and now" recorded in the sounds of piano keys.
Although he was an extremely versatile artist and composed various music genres, it is his piano miniatures, almost completely forgotten today, that have the power to touch contemporary listeners, speaking to their sensitivity.
Katski's works are performed here by Polish pianist, Anna Parkita. She has won numerous prizes and is very active as a concert artist, music promoter and academic.
