The important Polish composer Marian Sawa wrote a distinguished body of music and was the recipient of numerous awards. Many of his violin works remained undiscovered until 2012, and they embody musical idioms ranging from the experimental sounds of the 1960s to the modal harmonies of the 21st century. Cohesive and contrapuntal, often intricate and intimate, Sawa’s music for violin uses innovative sound techniques and is witty and virtuosic. It is performed on this recording by the violinist to whom many of the works were dedicated.
