...NOT NON-EXISTENCE, WHICH, AGREE, NOT... - STANISŁAW BARAŃCZAK

The juxtaposition of Schubert's great music with the poetry of Stanisław Barańczak is a demonstration of the unity of art. The music of the genius who did not know the meanness of the 20th century united with the words written by our friend, in inspiration, in the struggle with illness, with time, with despair, connected with the words created by Stanisław, who was a witness to totalitarianism and its opponent.
