The Quartet No. 3 "... Songs are Sung," Op. 67 by Henryk Mikolaj G�recki belongs to the late works of the composer, and for a long time it was considered to be his last opused work. It was composed in the '90s on commission of the Kronos ensemble. The artist would redo it several times before he eventually decided to "release it to the world." The reference to a song in the title is not accidental - the cantabile category, in combination with sometimes dramatic, sometimes doleful and melancholic narration additionally contributes to the Quartet becoming a sui generis chamber echo of the Symphony of Sorrowful Songs No. 3. The perception of the piece is dominated with G�recki's style, recognizable by almost every music lover- deeply emotional, introverted, frugal, and at the same time extremely moving. The Daf� Quartet, the first female string quartet in Poland, have been fascinated audiences with contemporary music performance from the beginning of their career; they belong to the most outstanding performers of Polish chamber music.
