Description:

A compelling work from the accomplished trombonist Wojciech Jeliski, a graduate of the Karajan Academy. A magnificent program surveying Polish trombone music! A meticulously crafted program by the young Polish trombonist Wojciech Jeliski, focusing on composers from his homeland.Opening the program is the “Fantasy” by Stojowski, a student of Paderewski whose work has seen a significant reappraisal in recent years. Written as an examination piece for the Paris Conservatoire in 1905, this work is known as a valuable addition to the trombone repertoire, and a recording by a Polish performer lends it particular persuasiveness. Freeman’s “Concerto No. 2,” composed in 1969 during his later years, retains a strong Romantic flavor. The program also features a collection of short pieces for brass trio by the neoclassical master Tansman, and Paczorekiewicz’s miniatures written for four trombones, sh
