Composed over a period of some thirty years, the six string works in this programme cover the full
stylistic range of Penderecki’s towering compositional career. The Sinfoniettas are transcriptions of two
chamber works, impassioned in texture, courting elegy and terse gesture alike. With the Three Pieces
in Old Style we are in the world of Baroque pastiche, whereas introspective intensity runs through the
Serenade of 1997. Radicalism informs the Intermezzo whilst the Capriccio, written a decade earlier, DDD
reveals Penderecki’s lighter, more piquant side in scintillating fashion. ‘Antoni Wit’s Penderecki series
