Pawel Szamburski - Dlugo, Dlugo Nic, A Potem Wszystko [Rope Worm 005]

Freshly released via the Warsaw-based Rope Worm label on April 4th, 2k25 is "Dlugo, Dlugo Nic, A Potem Wszystko", the latest longplay outing by Polish clarinet player and composer Pawel Szamburski who teamed up with the AUKSO Orchestra for the performance and live recording of this album on October 6th, 2k23 at the Auksodrone Festival in Tychy. With the seven part composition stretching out over the course of approximately 37 minutes we see Szamburski embarking on a deeply enchanted journey with the opening piece that is "Tafla / Surface", tapping into ancient memories of an unscathed, mystical world full of wonders humanities elders faced thousands of years ago with the lively and indeed "Wzburzenie / Turbulence" fully living up to its name whilst the foreboding "Cisza Przed Burza / Calm Before The Storm" perfectly captures the building tension which surprisingly isn't fully and finally unleashed in the lively, yet rather subdued "Burza / Storm" whereas "Pozegna / Farewell" falls back into full on Classical string romanticsm for those who know. Defo an album for the avid fan and follower of Contemporary Classical composition and a rather surprising release for the already musically diverse label.
