Andrzej KosendiakAbout
‘I had to make a choice among Zielenski’s 113 surviving works, so I adopted a narratve based on the history of salvaton, or more precisely – the fulflment of the Scripture in the coming of Jesus Christ – the Messiah. The texts of the featured compositons refer both to the Old Testament events, the Gospel and to the descriptions contained in the Acts, from the Annunciaton and Visitaton of St Elizabeth, Natvity, Slaughter of the Innocents, Presentaton of the Lord, to Golgotha, Resurrecton, the Doubt of St Thomas, Ascension, Martyrdom of St Stephen and Glory to God.
‘At the same tme, I tried to show the diversity of line-ups and styles of Zielenski’s works from the 12-part Magnifcat and the double-choir (eight-part and six-part) works to works for solo voice, while also diferentatng the instrumental line-ups, and especially the basso contnuo, which is performed by two theorboes, organ, harpsichord, harp, viola da gamba, violone and dulcian in various configuratons. In the vocal parts, the highest are performed by female sopranos, probably contrary to the practce of the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries. We denied the doubtful St Thomas his voice in Mite manum tuam by performing this duo only on instruments, believing without words in the Resurrecton.
‘The featured works by Zielenski are masterpieces of musical art of the early 17th century, withstanding comparisons with compositons of the greatest masters of the era.’
