Wojciech Kilar -
Orawa , Piano Concerto, Krzesany
"You have opened a window and let some fresh air into stale room of
Polish music", said Jan Krenz to the composer after the world premiere
of the Krzesany at the Warsaw Autumn festival in 1974. Krzesany
restored the meaning to emotional expression, in the music of that time
reduced to the minimum. By appealing to senses and feelings, the piece
made it big among ordinary music lovers. Performed by polish, French,
German, American and Brazilian orchestra, it became a hit in concert
halls.{...}...
The three parts of Wojciech Kilar`s Concerto are
like three acts of gradually developed, cohesive plot, with its central
point being the second part: Corale-Largo Religiosamente. This peculiar
prayer, {...} determines the religious character of the piece, It is
preceded by the first part, a kind of musical meditation {...}, and
followed by painfully dynamic, masterful Toccata, an apotheosis of
power and vitality and at the same time suggestively symbolizing the
aggression of the word around us."
