Ignacy Jan Paderewski was particularly fond of using poems by the classics of Polish Romanticism, notably Adam Asnyk, Adam Mickiewicz and Wladyslaw Syrokomla. His first song cycle was a setting of five poems by Asnyk. Several of the compositions on this release come from those poems Paderewski was so fond of. Anna Radziejewska, Karol Kozlowski and Agnieszka Hoszowska-Jablonska bring Panderewski's works to life with the stylistic voices and talent.
