This special edition gathers Krzysztof Penderecki's works for violin and piano, tracing the extraordinary evolution of one of the twentieth century's leading composers. The early Sonata of 1953 and the Miniatures of 1959 reveal a young musician steeped in neoclassical clarity, while the monumental Sonata No. 2 of 1999 speaks in the dark, dramatic language of his maturity. Violinist Robert Kabara and pianist Łukasz Trepczyński give committed, idiomatic performances, recorded at the Krzysztof Penderecki European Centre for Music in Lusławice. It is a compelling portrait of a composer across five decades.
