Bracia Meisner prezentują pierwszy wspólny krążek Euphoria zawierający światowe premiery fonograficzne czterech dzieł kompozytorów związanych ze Śląskiem. Płyta z utworami Adama Wesołowskiego i Witolda Friemanna na puzon i fortepian ukaże się nakładem wydawnictwa Ars Sonora i będzie dostępna od 30 listopada 2023 roku w serwisach streamingowych (Spotify, Apple Music) oraz w salonach Empiku i na stronie https://dobreplyty.pl 

Nagranie przedstawia kompozycje wirtuozowskie, poetyckie i prawdziwie unikatowe w wykonaniu puzonisty Jarosława Meisnera i pianisty Mateusza Meisnera.

Płytę rozpoczynają Elegia oraz dwie Suity kontemplacyjne Witolda Friemanna. Tytułowy utwór płyty Euphory Concerto, pierwotnie napisany na eufonium, został zaaranżowany przez Adama Wesołowskiego na puzon specjalnie dla Jarosława Meisnera, a więc dzięki temu wydawnictwu odbędzie się jego premiera fonograficzna w nowym opracowaniu. Po raz pierwszy w wersji na puzon i fortepian zostanie nagrany jeszcze jeden koncert Wesołowskiego: rozszerzone techniki wykonawcze, niekonwencjonalne sposoby gry na puzonie prezentuje Gliss Koncert, otwierający nowy rozdział w literaturze puzonowej.

Maestra Anu Tali is an artist who fits perfectly into the series of concerts of Sinfonietta Cracovia, which introduces the Cracow audience to the rising stars of the European classical music scene. The Estonian conductor brings something unique to this stage: a fresh perspective and intriguing repertoire choices. The first Cracow concert of this artist will take place on the 29^th of November, 2023 at 7.30 p.m. at the Cracow Philharmonic.

This November marks the 90^th anniversary of birth of Krzysztof Penderecki, mentor of Sinfonietta Cracovia musicians, with whom the orchestra had the opportunity to give concerts. The concert programme includes Sinfonietta No. 3, a piece that can easily be described as one of the "musical showcases" of the Cracow ensemble.
