22 tracks of classic tangos from pre-war Poland.

From the record label:
All musical tracks, photos and illustrations used for this CD are from the collection of Jerzy Placzkiewicz. Since decades he collects shellacs, concert posters, music sheets and articles from Poland’s between-wars-period – a treasure giving evidence of a society familiar with romanticism, refinement, style and its perfect expression - the Tango.

Listening to this CD, one joins an important part of Poland’s cultural history that was almost completely deleted from public knowledge by World War II and its conclusions – after all the great majority of the artists involved were of Jewish descent.

In this collection a period survived - against all odds, against the current, and against the most considerable menace of all: oblivion. By good fortune - after all it points out that Europe before 1939 was different from the divided continent we used to live in. Cultural exchange and connections between people, the visions of a new Europe, have been reality almost 75 years ago.

This CD is a convincing proof, and we are happy to conclude it with the German cover version of a well-known Polish Tango. We used the outmost care restoring the old recordings. Anyway, at least two of the tracks, No. 2 and 11, can’t conceal that the originals have been played several times. We decided not to renounce with them – choosing between musical beauty and technical condition was not so diffcult at last.

Please note!
Most CDs have been imported from Europe or Asia. They are not all shrink-wrapped, and I am not going to con you by wrapping them here just to make you think they have been sterilized in America. We guarantee that the CDs and the contents are all brand new and in perfect condition. Whenever I can, I use recycled shipping materials. They may not look as pretty on the outside, but they save money and keep the trash dumps a little bit emptier.
