"When listeners receive a recording of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s works, they may wonder how the performers approached the interpretation. No one dares to think though, that one could change the actual notes.After just the first few sounds from this record, one begins to see that this is an extraordinary creation.

This Polish musicians' quintet fully maximises the use of the most incredible interpretation space left by this genius Austrian composer. One can play less notes, and the piece still doesn’t lose its value!

W.A. Mozart was a genius! We know that. He was possibly the world's first composer who created - what we would now call - “hits”. His incredible work seems to be almost specifically created for these mad instrumental interpretations.
This quintet of musicians who understand each other so perfectly, has proven just that with this album.

This project particularly deserves the listeners' special attention.
Let these few words - scribbled by a bewildered music lover - be an encouragement to you for placing the record in the gramophone player, lowering the needle and initiating the listening experience."
