Warsaw Autumn’s Musical Discovery

Daniel Gutowski

WHO’S WHO: Sławomir Kupczak

Filip Lech

‘My audience isn’t always aware that I don’t treat all the musical gestures I write down in my scores seriously’ – says the composer about the risks of using humour

And We Break Down Ourselves

Joanna Roszak

Coetzee’s libretto doesn’t span the entirety of the book; together with composer Nicolas Lens, the author shifts his focus to three characters, whom director Maja Kleczewska describes as ‘suspended in lasting’ – Joanna Roszak on Coetzee and Lens’ ‘Slow Man’

The Only Thing Shocking
Left in Theatre

Alan Lockwood talks to Stephen Wadsworth

You can make King Roger not gay or gay, you can be just as open as you want to be, but this sensual awareness is one aspect of the piece you can’t get away from – Stephen Wadsworth speaks about intimacy and directing ‘King Roger’, which premiered 21 July 2012 in the Santa Fe Opera

Soyka’s Homage to Niemen

Tomasz Cyz

Soyka sings in a style all his own without blurring the wonderfulness of the original, yet without dooming himself to inevitable failure in a vocal duel with Niemen

Fear of Man

Tomasz Cyz

The sound of Poppea is subtle and airy; thanks to the perfection of Sylvain Cambreling and Klangforum Wien, the piece is like a fine cobweb – ‘L’incoronazione di Poppea’ directed by Krzysztof Warlikowski in Madrid

Everything in Opera Leaves a Mark

TOMASZ CYZ TALKS TO KRZYSZTOF WARLIKOWSKI

Premiering a drama production leaves me wondering what it is that I want to talk about in my next piece. I don’t really know anything about the next subject or work that I’d like to or could direct. Unlike the opera, which opens up a world of opportunities

Classical, Almost Popular

PIOTR TKACZ TALKS TO ROBERT PIOTROWICZ

I recently had a rather arduous conversation with a certain musician about the concept of ‘sexiness’ in music. The term ‘sexy’ provoked such consternation that you would think I was talking about the paranormal or was using marketing lingo

The Three Colors of Jazz

TOMASZ HANDZLIK TALKS TO PIOTR DAMASIEWICZ

Sculptors and painters could teach musicians silence, because today’s music is dominated by chaos, and the loudness or decibel level is only getting higher, sadly – Piotr Damasiewicz

Penderecki & Greenwood
by Nonesuch Records

Tomasz Handzlik talks to Jonny Greenwood

Nonesuch Records releases an album of works by Krzysztof Penderecki and Radiohead composer and guitarist Jonny Greenwood, recorded in Alvernia Studios, on 13 March 2012. Artists’ compositions premiered during the European Culture Congress in September 2011. Their concert will be held again on 22 March in Barbican in London

Mozil Sings Miłosz

Marta Nadzieja

The success of this ostensibly risky poetic venture hinges on one of Czesław Mozil’s greatest artistic virtues: trust

I’m not into Classification

MONIKA ROKICKA talks to CRAIG TABORN

‘Stańko has been spending a lot of time in New York. It’s something that he’s always wanted to do and he is interested in a lot of younger musicians in the New York scene,’ says pianist Craig Taborn, who recently performed alongside Stańko at the Jazz Autumn Festival in Bielsko Biała
