The lightness and charm of the overture sets the tone for a wonderfully engaging performance from the forces of Szczecin’s Opera at the Castle under Warcislaw Kunc. Celebrated as the ‘Father of Polish music’, Moniuszko remains too little known abroad, and this Verbum Nobile – only the work’s second recording – should help to increase his appeal.
