Both CDs were published by the Polish Music Publishers and Anaklasis-find them both on Freszel’s Anaklasis page. Many superb musicians are featured on these two albums, including Ewa Biegas, Łukasz Konieczny, Urszula Krygier, Bartłomiej Misiuda, Jan Jakub Monowid, Sebastian Szumski, and Marcin Świątkiewicz, with the Polish Radio Choir and the AUKSO City of Tychy Chamber Orchestra led by Marek Moś. Dramma per musica to the libretto by Szczepan Twardoch (nomination in the category of the Outstanding Recording of the Year). Siostra bogów with an extraordinary libretto by Olga Tokarczuk (nomination in the category of Album of the Year-Choral Music), and Drach. Two of them are operas by Aleksander Nowak: Ahat-ilī. This award was given to Jadwiga Rappé, a vocalist and professor of voice whose career spans decades and includes thousands of concerts in the most prestigious venues all across the world, and to Jan Łukaszewski, an outstanding conductor and artistic director of the Polish Chamber Choir ‘ Schola Cantorum Gedaniensis.’ This Year’s Nomineesįour nominations were given to the recordings featuring soprano Joanna Freszel. The Polish Recording Academy Board honored two outstanding classical artists with the Lifetime Achievement ‘ Golden Fryderyk’ Award. The exceptions included choral music with three nominations and symphonic music, where four nominations were given. Five albums were nominated for each category. On 17 March 2021, the Polish Recording Academy announced nominations in its ten categories of classical music. The Polish equivalent is called Fryderyk and bears Fryderyk Chopin’s likeness, in a pose modeled on the Rolls-Royce motorcar “Spirit of Ecstasy” hood ornament. Known initially as the Gramophone Award, the actual American Grammy Award trophy was inspired by the 1930s model of a gramophone with an oversized, trumpet-like speaker. Just like in America-where the Recording Academy recognizes the best achievements in the music industry- for the past twenty-six years Poland’s Recording Academy (known as Akademia Fonograficzna) has spotlighted recordings in about twenty categories of popular music and jazz, and ten categories of classical music. America has had its Grammy Awards since 1959, when the first gala ceremony was held and, in 1995, Poland followed this fine example by instituting its own the Fryderyk Awards.
