Polish Songs
Fryderyk Chopin - 4 Songs
Mieczysław Karłowicz - 15 Songs
Stanisław Moniuszko - 4 Songs
Stefania Toczyska, mezzo soprano
Janusz Olejniczak, piano
Stefania Toczyska has never managed to receive an international recognition which she deserves. Well known in Eastern Europe, the West has virtually ignored her. Her smooth, secure and creamy Mezzo tone was suitable for both opera and Lieder and this rare CD shows her off magnificently. The songs are all unusual and probably new to the listener. Of especial interest are the songs of Karłowicz. He died very young (In an avalanche) and never wanted any of his songs to be performed let alone be published. Thank goodness, these wishes have been ignored and some of these gems are here for us to enjoy. The recording is excellent with a superb balance between the piano and singer. If you after something out of the ordinary then this CD is for you.
