I have no idea how I missed this post. But a belated and most sincere welcome! I noticed your post of the Monteverdi and not recognizing the poster, came searching here. By the way, I enjoyed it.
Be kind to your fellow posters!!

Edith, welcome, and greetings from New York City. I am listening to your Monteverdi at the moment, and it's quite good!

I see your original post is from January, so don't know if you will see this reply.
Anyway, the song was well done and looks like a late opus of Chopin, unless this was part of his undated posthumous works. The piano refrain is typical of Chopin's vocal writing and I am guessing this song might has some folk reference.
What fascinates me is the sound of the piano that is not your typical Steinway or other popular brands, but heard  in other Polish recordings. I am wondering if it is Pleyel.  ZB

Hi.  In January at that time, I was off in Charlotte, NC, and not on the forum much for 3 months. Sorry I missed you initially.
When, a few months before his death, Rachmaninov lamented that he no longer had the "strength and fire" to compose, friends reminded him of the Symphonic Dances, so charged with fire and strength. "Yes," he admitted. "I don't know how that happened. That was probably my last flicker."

Aleksandra Kurzak is indeed a wonderful singer. If you drop her name into the search box on musicweb-international.com you will find an interview with her plus several reviews of her recordings and live performances. It is a free site.
