ŻELEŃSKI, W.: Janek [Opera] (Gaj, Górski, Grzegorzewicz-Rodek, Henryk Wieniawski Philharmonic Women's Choir and Orchestra, Lublin, Rodek)
Władysław Żeleński was a neo-Romantic from southern Poland whose compositions were infused with evocative national colour and character. His opera Janek draws on local atmosphere and traditional music but also makes use of the emotive Italian verismo style. Set in the Tatra Mountains, the tragic drama of Janek weaves an entangled tale of romantic attachments and deception, set in motion after the eponymous hero and leader of a band of robbers, arrives wounded at the cottage of the charming Bronka.
