Gems of the polish baroque
17th and 18th century church and court music in Poland

Most musicians and music lovers only associate one name with Polish music: Frédéric Chopin. This great 19th century composer was inspired by Polish folk music motifs in many of his works, as were earlier generations of Polish composers before him, but they are now sadly forgotten. 2010 - the 200th anniversary of Chopin's birth - may be an opportunity to bring to light once more the little - known gems of 17th and 18th century Polish music. These pieces, written by Polish and foreign composers living in Poland, deserve much greater attention and we are delighted to present a selection of them on our CD.
[...] A great many vocal and instrumental chamber works composed in Poland in the 17th and 18th century are sadly lost forever to European music history. The surviving pieces presented here are distinguished by their high level of artistry and we hope our CD will be a small contribution towards bringing these valuable works to a wider public.
