About

DUX Recording Producers presents a new album in memory of internationally renowned Polish tenor Tomasz Zagórski.

On the album, we find recordings of twenty-four songs composed by nine Polish composers. Thus, it is a cross-sectional, comprehensive approach to native vocal works. In most cases, we can hear pieces that performers reach for especially often, and the audience simply expects them. At the same time, the performers here reach a wonderful, artistic understanding.

This unique album preserves the memory of an artist whose thread of life and  career, at its very peak, was broken so unexpectedly and suddenly. Tomasz Zagórski died in 2021, at the age of fifty-six, unable to face what the time of the pandemic brought us. We dedicate this album to his memory in the need to preserve a lasting trace documenting the talent of the artist at the peak of vocal art mastery.

The CD opens with Fryderyk Chopin's song Wojak [The Soldier]. The pianist, Jacek Kortus, immediately sets the tone of a soldier's call, as announced by the first words of Stefan Witwicki's poem: 'My bay horse neighs, stamps; let us go, it is time, it is time!' Tomasz Zagórski takes up this soldier's call with enthusiasm and totally aware of what is at stake.
