The present album launches a series of recordings of little-known 19th-century Polish chamber music. This music has not been recorded yet, and its creators remain in the shadow of great 19th-century Polish composers, especially Fryderyk Chopin and Stanisław Moniuszko. Therefore, it is all the more pleasing to restore the memory of unheard-of and forgotten Polish artists and to reinstate their music to contemporary listeners.

The album features three chamber pieces. The author of the first one, Grand Trio in D major, is the Cracow composer Karol Kątski (1813–1867). This creator, a talented violinist at the beginning of his career, devoted himself primarily to composition after moving to Paris. His Trio is characterised by a clear formal structure, emotional melodies and elegant simplicity. The character of the Duo for clarinet and piano, op.47, by Ignacy Feliks Dobrzyński (1807– 1867) is completely different. Dobrzyński is the best-known composer among the artists presented on the CD; he was also a violinist and teacher associated with Warsaw. His piece is a bravura and virtuoso composition, although still kept within the classical rules of the sonata-allegro form. The last composition, Piano Quartet in D major, op.2, by Józef Krogulski (1815–1842), is a work of a young but already very mature artist. In his piece, the composer used, among others, Polish dance folk music in its stylised form.

The pieces are presented by the Polish Piano Trio, which consists of Robert Kwiatkowski (violin), Błażej Goliński (cello) and Dominika Glapiak (piano), as well as by Andrzej Wojciechowski (clarinet), Mirosława Sumlińska (piano), Karolina Piątkowska-Nowicka (violin), Krzysztof Komendarek-Tymendorf (viola), Maciej Kułakowski (cello) and Bogna Czerwińska-Szymula (piano).
