Although he wrote a dozen orchestral works and as many pieces of chamber music, the Polish composer Łukaszewski (born 1958) made a huge international name for himself in the domain of choral music. For his fiftieth birthday, the Tenebrae choir and its conductor Nigel Short decided to honour him with a beautiful recording of some of his most outstanding choral works. The sacred is crucial to this repertoire, with the psalm Cantate Domino, the Beatitudes and the Responsoria Tenebræ, but we also find Shakespeare's Sonnets. Naturally, there is an organic link with his great Polish predecessors Lutosławski and Penderecki, but also Górecki even, off to the north-east, the Estonian Pärt - in other words, a whole slice of the serial avant-garde of the 1970s had no impact on Łukaszewski's music. He constantly worked at his own vision of modernism, which didn't reject its roots in older music, up to and including the polyphonic writing of the Renaissance, but with an updated harmonic conception. © SM/Qobuz
