Piosenka Poetycko-literacka jest czymś ogromnie polskim zakorzenionym w naszej kulturze. Nie ma czegoś takiego na świecie w takim wymiarze. Może piosenki Jacques’a Brela albo duet Weil/Brecht.
Jest to szczególnie ważne dzisiaj w czasach gdy jest moda na hałas by umieć wyciszyć się, wsłuchać w tekst, muzykę i pomedytować.
Baśniowa płyta pełna marzeń, niespełnionych historii i snów- A wszystko to kompozycje Adriana Konarskiego wszechstronnego kompozytora piszącego nie tylko muzykę filmową.
Dzięki związkom z filmem udało się zaprosić do współpracy Jacka Wójcickiego śpiewającego w „Ostatnim dzwonku” Magdaleny Łazarkiewicz. Ale też „Ogrody złudzeń” to tytuł ballady do tekstu reżyserki Magdaleny Piekorz śpiewanej przez Joannę Kulig

Caldera Records is proud to present the original score for the motion picture “The Welts (Pregi)” from 2004, directed by Magdalena Piekorz and starring Michal Zebrowski and Agnieszka Grochowska. The Polish movie tells the tale of Wojciech who was mistreated by his father at a young age and as a result becomes increasingly troubled when growing up. Although he does not want to repeat the same mistakes his father did, he has problems connecting to people. Then he meets Tania, his chance for redemption. But will he be able to solve his problems and become somebody who can not only love but who can also be loved by others?
The music for the directorial debut by Magdalena Piekorz was composed by Adrian Konarski, a highly regarded musician for films, theater and concert in his native Poland. These Polish routes are evident in his music, bearing resemblance to work of his native countryman Wojciech Kilar in their melodic inspiration, thematic development and transparent arrangements. Performed by a small orchestra with haunting instrumental solos for piano and woodwinds, the music for “The Welts” is full of melancholy and yet offering a glimpse of hope for the troubled character of the movie. Konarski works with several themes and motifs such as a love theme which receives its variations throughout the score.
Furthermore, Caldera presents several other works by Adrian Konarski, mounting to a running time of 80 minutes in total: “Drowsiness” and “Citizen” are two other elegiac scores for movies by Magdalena Piekorz, performed by orchestra and soloists such as a mesmerizing soprano. Several other pieces also assembled on this compilation were written by Konarski for different projects, offering a vast variety of melodies and styles.
As a bonus, we included an exclusive audio commentary by the composer where he talks about his work. The 16th CD-release of Caldera Records features a detailed booklet-text by Gergely Hubai and elegant artwork by Luis Miguel Rojas. The CD was produced by Stephan Eicke and John Elborg.

Tytuł płyty But anioła pochodzi z tekstu Sebastiana Ludwika Kudasa i piosenkę tę śpiewa Marta Honzatko.
[su_pullquote]Spadł na mnie but anioła więc podniosłem przymierzyłem, z pewnością odczuł jego brak anioł gdy się ulotniłem[/su_pullquote]
Później przemierzałem przestworza, anioł stał się człowiekiem a w jego bucie ja stałem się aniołem… A dalej wesoło bo buta wcale nie oddałem…

Smutny anioł śpiewany przez Ewę Wnukową to tekst napisany po śmierci Piotra Skrzyneckiego jaką kolęda dla tych, na których patrzy się przez okno w nieziemskiej bieli, gdzie smutny anioł moknie w świetle, a śnieg topnieje na naszych twarzach.

Nie są to kolędy tradycyjne są to oryginalne pastorałki napisane do tekstów poetyckich w tym między innymi Joanny Kulmowej, Roberta Kasprzyckiego, Anny Gabryś. Ale jest też Anna Kamieńska. To płyta dla wrażliwców dla tych którzy lubią się wzruszać, ale jednocześnie szukają czegoś więcej niż tradycyjnych kolęd.
