Stanisława Celińska, Bartek Węsik, and the Royal String Quartet present us with an exceptional blend of tradition and modernity in their new arrangement of T.Love's song "Warszawa." Stanisława Celińska, a talented vocalist, expresses her deep, emotional voice, which perfectly captures the essence of this piece. Bartek Węsik, a well-known and respected pianist, not only provides a beautiful arrangement but also skillfully utilizes the piano to fully convey the atmosphere of the song. Meanwhile, the Royal String Quartet, consisting of Izabella Szałaj-Zimak, Elwira Przybyłowska, Marek Czech, and Michał Pepol, adds a touch of chamber music and elegance, creating beautiful string parts. This piece comes from the album "NOWA WARSZAWA," which is being promoted by the artists. It is an album that showcases not only the immense talent of the performers but also their connection to Polish music. The lyrics to "Warszawa" were written by Zygmunt Staszczyk, and the music was composed by Jan Benedek. It is one of those pieces that leaves a lasting impression and remains in the hearts of listeners for a long time. The graphic design accompanying this piece, created by Justyna Kosińska, adds another layer of aesthetics to the entire production. It draws attention to details and perfectly highlights the mood of the piece. This production was created with the participation of the Nowy Teatr and Polish Radio SA, which speaks to the high artistic level and professionalism of both the performers and the entire production team. It must be noted by all music lovers, both those who love tradition and those who seek something modern and unconventional. "Warszawa" performed by Stanisława Celińska, Bartek Węsik, and the Royal String Quartet is a combination of two worlds that will undoubtedly provide us with many unforgettable emotions.
This video is a great example of how to modernly arrange a classic song by T.Love. The version by Stanisława Celińska, Bartek Węsik, and the Royal String Quartet is both energetic and full of emotions. Celińska's vocals are moving, and Węsik's piano perfectly complements the whole. The Royal String Quartet adds a unique flavor to this piece, creating beautiful melodies. The arrangement, maintained in a modern style, wonderfully captures the atmosphere of Warsaw. I am surprised at how beautifully the instruments sound in this performance. The whole created by the Nowy Teatr and Polskie Radio SA deserves recognition for its originality and unconventional approach to music. I RECOMMEND!
