A monographic record of one of the greatest Polish composers of postmodern time - Paweł Szymański. The compositions recorded here perfectly define his compositional idiom, which consists mainly of two elements: a heterophonic texture and a specific technique of surconventionalism (composer's definition), consisting in revealing only parts of the musical narrative, so that the listener must reconstruct the whole by imaginary force. The tracks are characterized by a "ragged" rhythmic course and a wealth of color means. As a result, Szymański's unusually expressive, original style is perfectly recognizable to anyone who has ever met his music.
Kwartet Akademos was founded in 1997. The team members improved their skills at post-graduate studies: Anna Szabelka at the Music Academy in Warsaw in the class of prof. Konstanty Andrzej Kulka, while the other members of the quartet at the Music Academy in Katowice in the chamber music class of Marek Mos. In 2007, he was invited to Carnegie Hall in New York for the "The ESQ Workshop: Beethoven Quartets" course, which was led by members of The Emerson String Quartet.
