The latest CD of the Cracow Singers chamber choir is a very special musical trace. The very concept of the release was created after last year's joint Polish-Hungarian concert project by Cracow Singers and under the direction of the excellent choirmaster - the head of the Hungarian Radio Choir – Zoltán Pad. The album with a symbolic title – Under the falcon’s wing / A sólyom szárnya alatt - was recorded at an equally symbolic time – exactly on the 140th anniversary of the birth of two outstanding Polish and Hungarian composers – Karol Szymanowski and Zoltán Kodály.
Apart from the series Six Kurpian Songs by Karol Szymanowski and three compositions by Zoltán Kodály, the album includes perhaps the most beautiful choral compositions by contemporary Polish and Hungarian composers – Henryk Mikołaj Górecki, Krzysztof Penderecki, Ferenc Liszt, Levente Gyöngyösi and Márton Levente Horváth.
The public task is co-financed by the Wacław Felczak Institute of Polish-Hungarian Cooperation.
A public task co-financed by the City of Cracow.
