UPC 5902547016290

Although their first joint appearance on a Polish stage took place 6 years ago, it is now that their debut album is launched by the DUX record label. Violinist Malgorzata Wasiucionek and pianist Sylwia Michalik present the album Enescu / Prokofiev / Szymanowski to the audience. Currently, both artists define their cooperation as an absolute professional priority. Although each of them could endow at least a few outstanding musicians with their achievements, they observe the world through the prism of chamber music, being a tandem of charismatic artists. The duo is characterized by similar artistic views, excellent stage understanding and, above all, a fascination with the repertoire featured on the album.
