#3268: New Music from Poland
This New Sounds is full of new music from Poland. We’ll hear from the klezmer and Balkan-inflected jazz-ish strains of Kroke, along with “hardcore folk” from the Warsaw Village Band, whose driving fiddle and trumpets take wedding songs or Balkan Jazz and layer them with “white voice” singing (a lyrical screaming used by Polish shepherds).
Then, there’s a piece for saxophone and tape by Elzbieta Sikora (based in France) writing about a Portuguese poet inspired by the 28 train in Lisbon, featuring taped sounds from along the route. Also, we’ll revisit the early days of New Sounds with works from Mieczyslaw Litwinski, and listen to a lavish orchestral score by Zbigniew Preisner, probably best known for his film scores. That, and more.
