Music of the Polish Renaissance
Rutgers Collegium Musicum
Andrew Kirkman, conductor
DTR2018 (CD)
Widely-known and much-loved in its native country, the music of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Poland remains unfamiliar elsewhere. Yet here is some of the most beautiful and eloquent music composed during the period, responding to familiar texts of the Catholic liturgy with great sensitivity and, at times, emotional intensity. There can be little doubt that the masters represented here deserve to be much better known outside their native land. With this disc, Rutgers Collegium Musicum aims to bring its glories to a wider audience, and, hopefully, to the attention of choirs searching for new and interesting repertory to engage and delight the concert-going public.
