This German composer, born in Zwickau in 1810, is one of the typical representatives of Romanticism in music. He was the son of a bookseller, so from an early age he was connected with literature to such an extent that at a certain stage of his life he hesitated between this field of art and music.
The spring concert of the Polish Radio Orchestra in Warsaw is a meeting with three composers of the Romantic era, who – each in their own way – broke the boundaries of musical form and expression.
Robert Kwiatkowski is among the outstanding Polish musicians of his generation. This remarkable violinist and chamber musician has won awards at many prestigious chamber music competitions both in Poland and abroad, as well as numerous distinctions for his artistic achievements.

Robert Schumann was a German composer and pianist who lived in the 19th century. His compositions are considered some of the most important in the history of classical music. His work "Fairy Tales" is among the most beloved by listeners. In this performance, the viola was played by Paulina Mazurkiewicz, and Joanna Czapiska played the piano. Both ladies are esteemed artists who excelled in interpreting this challenging piece. Their technique and musical sensitivity allowed them to uncover the beauty and depth of Schumann's composition. "Fairy Tales" is a cycle of works whose form refers to the tradition of romantic music. It consists of three parts, each with a distinctive theme and atmospheric mood. Schumann was a master of creating colorful and emotional melodies in his music, which can be particularly felt in "Fairy Tales." This piece was created during the Romantic era, characterized by a strong emphasis on the individuality of the artist and the expression of the deepest emotions. In "Fairy Tales," Schumann paid homage to this philosophy, creating music full of melancholy, expression, and romantic sentiment. We are dealing with a masterpiece of classical music, which in the performance of Paulina Mazurkiewicz and Joanna Czapiska takes on exceptional expression. Their ability to extract hidden emotions from the piece makes this recording extremely valuable for all lovers of romantic music. Schumann's Fairy Tales is an extraordinary journey through a world of sounds and emotions that is worth surrendering to.
This piece is incredibly magical! Paulina Mazurkiewicz's alto and Joanna Czapińska's piano create an amazing harmony together. The melody reminds me of true fairy tales told by Robert Schumann. The music is full of emotions and deep moods. I love such pieces that can transport me to a completely different world. It is a true feast for my ears and soul.
