They have performed at almost all prestigious music festivals in Poland, meeting with an enthusiastic reception of the audience and critical acclaim. Each of them is a laureate of a number of music competitions. They met while working with the Krakow chamber orchestra Capella Cracoviensis. They have many chamber concerts with a varied repertoire, from baroque to contemporary music. The present release is a review of the ambitious modern repertoire of the ensemble Cracow Wind Quintet, where classical positions coexist well with Polish chamber music, often- as in the case of Burleski by Mikolaj Gorecki or the Pawel Lukaszewski quartet- dedicated to the musicians participating in this recording.
