The 2017 Gramophone Award-winning Silesian Quartet here presents it's second recording on Chandos, again devoted to the works of the Polish female composer Grazyna Bacewicz, in a rare programme full of contrast and individuality. The four works brought together here - two unusual quartet formations and two piano quintets - form an integral part of the central, chamber music strand in Bacewicz's output. While the Quartet for Four Violins and the First Piano Quintet have maintained a strong presence in both concerts and recordings, the intriguing Quartet for Four Cellos and Second Piano Quintet are lesser-known pieces. This is yet another must-have, preceding the fiftieth year of Bacewicz's death commemorations, a composer whose music is now considered by broadcasters, promoters, critics, and artists as an essential part of the Polish repertoire.

Tracklist:

  1. Piano Quintet No. 1: I. Moderato Molto Espressivo
  2. Piano Quintet No. 1: II. Presto - Poco Meno Mosso
  3. Piano Quintet No. 1: III. Grave - Meno Mosso

  5. Piano Quintet No. 2: I. Moderato - Più Mosso
  6. Piano Quintet No. 2: II. Larghetto - Grandioso
  7. Piano Quintet No. 2: III. Allegro Giocoso - Poco Meno Mosso
  8. Quartet For 4 Violins: I. Allegretto - Allegro Giocoso
  9. Quartet For 4 Violins: II. Andante Tranquillo
  10. Quartet For 4 Violins: III. Molto Allegro
  11. Quartet For 4 Cellos: I. Narrazione. Dotted Quarter Note = 42
