In the 20th century, with the transformations in aesthetics, new facets of the clarinet were discovered, but it always remained an instrument with unrivaled tonal, dynamic, articulation, and agogic properties. The clarinet can be sensitive and vulgar, discreet and intrusive, mysterious, and unceremoniously transparent. It can evoke the atmosphere of folk fun, mournful lament, or an oriental scene. It can do a lot. And its most admirable ability is its capacity to blend with different instruments, with their colors merging or contrasting. Together, they create completely new, synthetic colors, whose quality depends not only on what it is combined with but also on the register in which the combination takes place.

Grażyna Bacewicz is one of the most famous composers of the last century. She was distinguished by a bold, experimental approach to music and, at the same time, an excellent compositional technique, characterized by precision and predilection for an orderly form. This made her belong to the Neoclassical trend, which is reflected by the Piano Quintet No. 1 (1952) featured on the album. The second piece of this genre, Piano Quintet No. 2, was written in 1965 and shows a new, sonoristic approach to the sound matter, but it is still kept in Bacewicz’s elegant and at the same time temperamental compositional idiom.
