In the December issue of ‘Hi-Fi i Muzyka’ Karol Kozłowski gives interview to Hanna Milewska about his future plans, he also talked to Jacek Hawryluk for ‘Ruch Muzyczny’ which will be published in early 2016.
Franz Schubert’s ‘Winterreise’ which premiered in September has some great reviews. Dorota Szwarcman wrote in Polityka: ‘This is the second CD with Schubert of this duo [with Jolanta Pawlik – ed.] and if the first one was excellent, this one is even better’. Mariusz Herma in the December issue of Zwierciadlo said that Karol Kozłowski and ‘Jolanta Pawlik are a perfect duo. May they continue their common journey’. The new album was also recommended in ‘Płytomania’ in Polish Radio.
Meanwhile in Italian Radio Rai3 – Valentina Lo Surdo talked about our ‘Winterreise’ in ‘Primo movimento’. You can find it here: http://www.radio3.rai.it/dl/radio3/programmi/PublishingBlock-b67b9438-2f44-4351-9cca-a8360b5d1597.html (7.10.).
