A Sea of Dreams Did Breath on Me

A Sea of Dreams Did Breath on Me

Composed for the final concert of the Chopin bicentenary celebrations in Warsaw in 2010, Krzysztof Penderecki's Powialo na mnie morze snÃ³w... (A sea of dreams did breathe on me...) is an extended song cycle comparable in scale to the composer's Eighth Symphony [Naxos 8.570450]. The individual songs, settings of both Romantic and contemporary Polish poetry grouped into larger movements, chart a progression from an almost impressionistic lightness to monumentality, the expressive tenor of the music ranging widely - nostalgic for loss, but also tense and impassioned. Antoni Wit, Polish conductor non-pareil and for over a decade the managing and artistic director of the Warsaw Philharmonic, is at the conductor's podium leading the orchestra, chorus and soloists gathered together for this grandly-scaled, important project.
