News from Ewelina Nowicka

Ewelina Novicka came across Weinberg's traces while researching Shostakovich, and Laks was brought to her attention by pianist friend Milena Antoniewicz, with whom she recorded her own composition "Kaddish" in the version for violin and piano in 2011.

The three juvenile works by Weinberg arranged for string orchestra by Ewelina Nowicka lead us into the workshop of a brilliant, precocious - Polish - composer. "Scherzo", "Sen o Lalce" (The Dream of a Doll) and "Nocturne" for violin and piano are among the few surviving pieces from Weinberg's Warsaw period.

One of the few works written before the 1960s, when Laks was once again able to build on his pre-war successes, is the Poème for violin and orchestra from 1954, which Ewelina Nowicka arranged for violin and string orchestra for the present recording.

Works:

•Simon Laks: Symphonie für Streichorchester
•Simon Laks: Poeme für Violine & Kammerorchester
•Mieczyslaw Weinberg: 3 Stücke für Violine & Kammerorchester
•Ewelina Nowicka: Kaddish 1944 für Violine & Kammerorchester
