ABOUT
Vol. 67 LAUTARI

Maciej Filipczuk – fiddle; Jacek Hałas – prepared piano, accordion; Michał Żak – clarinet, flute, shawm; guest: Marcin Pospieszalski - double bass

With Vol. 67, the Lautari ensemble reunites after a couple of years. It is their first project fully dedicated to Polish folk music, after the well-received albums: Azaran and Muzica Lautaresca Nova. The first performance took place during the Colours of Poland Festival, organized by the Łódź Philharmonic, which co-produced Vol. 67.

The name and the idea of Vol. 67 refer to the monumental ethnographic work of Oskar Kolberg - The Folk: customs, life, speech, tales, proverbs, ceremonies, rituals, superstitions, games, songs, music, and dance. Vol. 67 of Oskar Kolberg's collected works contains arrangements of folk music for piano. In this Vol. 67, inspired by Kolberg, we present our own, contemporary arrangements of Polish folk music for chamber ensemble with a prepared piano.
