Ani me, ani be

"[...] This simple story has a profound meaning for me, a timeless meaning, conveying the essence of artistic creativeness or even the essence of culture and our participation in it. [...]" So wrote Zbigniew Bujarski about the sources of his inspiration.
The symphonic poem Peirene is a programmatic work, its music originating in Greek mythology - its various motifs being treated in a fairly free way by the composer. (Cracow, 7 - 8 November 2003, from the programme of the concert).

Peirene (Bujarski Zbigniew)

'Chopin had the fortunate idea of playing the Adagio [Romance. Larghetto] from his last Concerto. Placed between two orchestral compositions of a turbulent style, this enchanting work, in which irresistible charm is combined with most profound religious thought, submerged the listeners in a specific joy - serene and ecstatic - to which we have not become accustomed in a similar situation. All this differs greatly from the endless adagios, which usually fill the middle movement of a piano concerto; in this case, there is so much simplicity used with such freshness of imagination, that when the last note was heard, in the manner of a pearl cast into a golden vase, the audience, immersed in contemplation, continued to listen, and for a few moments restrained itself from applauding. In the same way, while observing the harmonious descent of crepusculat dimness at eventide, w remain motionless in the darkness, with our eyes still focused on that point of the horizon where the light has just faded".
Hector Berlioz, "Le Rénovateur", 3 (IV), 5 January 1835.
