Krzyżewski - Leszczyńska - Wilk "Clarissimo"

"We are happy to present another Philharmonic publication, and at the same time the first album recorded in the chamber hall" – writes Dorota Serwa, Managing Director of the Philharmonic in Szczecin, in the introduction to the album. "The CD you are holding in your hands is an exceptional recording of the meeting of three musical personalities connected with Szczecin in a variety of ways."

Krzysztof Krzyżewski – soloist of the clarinet group of the Szczecin Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra – is the initiator and the main drive in the whole undertaking. It was by his invitation that a unique ensemble was created in which, along with the leading clarinet, you can hear the beautiful soprano of Ewa Leszczyńska, and the piano played by the excellent pianist from Szczecin, Sławomir Wilk. Krzysztof Krzyżewski has just defended his doctorate at the Academy of Music in Gdańsk.
