The CD of the Cracow Singers chamber choir is a very special musical trace. The very concept of the release was created after 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.

As Mateusz Borkowski writes in the essay for the album – "the importance of both composers for the national musical culture is enormous (...) Both Karol Szymanowski and Zoltán Kodály were fascinated by native folk music from their countries of origin. They both preserved the greatest values of the musical heritage of Poland and Hungary, especially present in their choral works - distinct and original. Thus, they form two solid musical pillars and it is these two that this publication is dedicated to, and brought together by Polish and Hungarian artists – Cracow Singers and Zoltán Pad".

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.
