About

The very title of the present album, Musical Landscapes, promises a musical journey through musical landscapes, each of which characterised by a different tradition and mood The works come from different eras and were composed by different artists. On this CD, they share an extremely interesting arrangement idea and a perfect performance by the musicians from the guitar ensemble Cracow Guitar Quartet.

The idea of 'musical landscapes' refers to the cultural background from which the individual pieces originate: the Far North (fragments of the music drama Peer Gynt by Edvard Grieg), rainy Cuba (from the composition by Leo Brouwer), hot Spain (Fandango by Luigi Boccherini) or Night on Bald Mountain by Modest Mussorgsky, full of fiery Eastern Slavic temperament. Well-known works, such as the famous Brandenburg Concerto no.3 by Johann Sebastian Bach, have, however, gained a completely unexpected sound due to a guitar ensemble transcription. Thanks to this, eight musical journeys recorded on the album are a return to familiar places but in a completely new version.

The ensemble consists of Miłosz Mączyński, Joanna Baran-Nosiadek, Łukasz Dobrowolski and Mateusz Puter.
