  • Description

    "Elegiaque" includes a collection of compositions written with guitar and lute in mind. It features pieces with themes of melancholy, sadness and rev-erie. The album begins with a few fancies by English lutenist John Dowland; in his compositions, he would combine elaborate Renaissance polyphonies with melodies whose vocal features were clearly inspired by Italian influences.

    Fernando Sor's Fantasia, written after the death of his student, is a monumental work. Although it was created in the Romantic era, it contains a number of references to the rhetoric of the Renaissance and Baroque.

    In turn, it is thematically connected with the last link of the album, a collection of several songs by Franz Schubert, including "Death and the Maiden" - these are free arrangements drawing more from Liszt's transcription than from the original.

    Milosz Maczynski is a virtuoso performing in many European countries, a prizewinner of international competitions and a member of the Cracow Guitar Quartet. He tells the musical story of melancholy while maintaining vocal continuity of the phrase even in polyphonic fragments and, above all, masterfully using time.
