Meccore String Quartet's latest release is dedicated to the chamber works of the great Polish composer Krzysztof Penderecki, who died in 2020. It is a recording of his most outstanding works intended for string quartet, string trio and string ensemble accompanied by clarinet, with guest appearance of Jan Jakub Bokun.

From youthful rebellion and sonoristic experimentation, the music leads us to neo-romanticism, saturated with extreme emotions. Between these two poles stretches the sublime sound world of the recorded works, which, according to critics and musicologists, represent a milestone in the development of modern chamber music. Maestro Penderecki symbolically stands side by side with the greatest creators of this genre, such as Haydn, Beethoven, and Bartók.

The Meccore String Quartet has had the honor of working with Krzysztof Penderecki on the occasion of performing his works. Particularly noteworthy was the time of preparations for the Austrian premiere of String Quartet No. 3 "Leaves from an Unwritten Diary". Communing with the composer's genius, his valuable comments, sensitivity and attention to maintaining the highest standards in the approach to music, has forever left its mark on the ensemble.

The space in which the Meccore String Quartet recording was made is also not without significance. The Krzysztof Penderecki’s European Centre For Music in Luslawice, opus magnum of the Master, has become an integral part of the project, ideologically complementing the latest release of the Polish ensemble, which is a tribute to the outstanding artist.

The album with a set of Krzysztof Penderecki's chamber works, released on the 90th anniversary of the composer's birth is released in the catalog of the Austrian label Capriccio.
