A concert at the Fryderyk Chopin University of Music on February 27, 2019 at 7.00 p.m. will announce a new album by Andrzej Karałow and Pablo Sánchez-Escariche Gascha entitled After all.
After all is a debut album of musicians who engage in solo, chamber, orchestral and experimental activities on a daily basis. They have been performing in a duet since 2016, playing classical and contemporary music – including works dedicated to the duo, among others, by Australian composers: Kirsten Milenko and Harry Sdraulig. The title piece After All was dedicated to the performers by the composer Żaneta Rydzewska.
The presence of some pieces on the CD with music for saxophone and piano may seem predictable. The performers believe, however, that the combination of the selected works creates a specific exhibition of how the contemporary composer's ideas relate to or confronts the music of a bygone era. After all is a personal perspective on the compositions of the 20th and 21st centuries and their past interpretations: starting from music written at the beginning of the 20th century, transcribed specifically for our needs (Paul Hindemith and Karol Szymanowski), through the already classical, virtuoso Sonata by William Albright, ending with the works of young composers (Żaneta Rydzewska, or Andrzej Karałow).
