Last quartets of Jerzy Fitelberg - album's premiere!

Media patronage: Polish Music Information Centre POLMIC

On the 15^th of December 15, 2022, the premiere of the album with Jerzy Fitelberg’s String Quartets nos. 4 & 5 will take place.

A joint project of the Polish Viola Society and the Acte Prealable publishing house resulted in the production of an album containing the first recordings of the last two string quartets by Jerzy Fitelberg (1903-1951) whose work remained practically forgotten after his death. String Quartets No. 4 (1936) and No. 5 (1945), reconstructed on the basis of preserved manuscripts, were recorded by the Fitelberg Quartet, which wishes to pay homage to the rich and varied output of its patron.

The recording was made in the Concert Hall of the prof. Józef Świder Primary and Secondary Music School in Jastrzębie-Zdrój.

Co-financed by the Minister of Culture and National Heritage from the Culture Promotion Fund - a state special purpose fund, as part of the ‘Music trace’ programme implemented by the National Institute of Music and Dance.
