I am very proud of this CD, which brings together all my important works for piano and recorder: Imibala yenjabulo, Tell them I've had a wonderful life, Cádiz, and the Three Sad Songs! 

Cádiz is located in Andalusia, on the southern Spanish Atlantic coast. It was founded by Phoenician seafarers around 1100 BC, making it the oldest continuously inhabited city in Western Europe. Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans, Arabs, and Spaniards ruled the city and ran trade from there. The old town overlooking the sea with its centuries-old ensemble of the fortress, the town hall, the watchtowers, theaters, churches, and cathedrals reminds us of a fairytale. Manuela de Falla and Paco de Lucía were born here. This fascinating place inspired me to write the Suite CADIZ, of which you here can listen to the third movement. ALONE ON THE SHORE  is a lamenting song, the melody complains about a painful loss - the piano accompanies thoughtfully, asks questions, hears the recorder answer, listens thoughtfully, and insists on always the same rhythm.

My biggest thanks to Chris Orton who recorded this album with me in June 2022 in Warsaw. We released it on December 1. You can listen to this track for free this weekend! You can order the CD on my website:
