Aleksander Debicz, Lukasz Kuropaczewski with Jakub Józef Orlinski. "The album's title Adela comes from a song by (Joaquin) Rodrigo which constitutes the emotional culmination of our duo's program. What counts is not the name, but the person we love and long for. Everyone certainly has such a person, and so we hope that each listener will find on our album something close to his or her heart.

"The piano and classical guitar virtually never collaborate in music. However, after our first joint performance with Lukasz Kuropaczewski we immediately realised that we could create intriguing music worlds together. We followed the same line of thinking in our choice of program, which derives from both the piano and guitar repertoires, though the spirit of the South that influences most of that music is more typically associated with the guitar tradition. In my arrangements of classical works, I strove to represent the sonic qualities of both instruments, their unique expression, and cultural associations.

"I reworked Domenico Scarlatti's famous 'Sonata in D Minor (Toccata)' K. 141 so as to bring out it's Spanish roots. Titled 'Domingo' on our album, it features distinctive flamenco qualities and an improvised layer. The 'Aranjuez Concerto BWV 1056' is, as it's very name suggests, a fusion of the world's most famous piece for guitar and orchestra, Joaquin Rodrigo's 'Concierto de Aranjuez,' with Johann Sebastian Bach's 'Keyboard Concerto in F Minor' BWV 1056. Themes from the second, slow movements of both concertos interlink here as in the film cross-cutting technique, and we swap roles, Lukasz leading the Bach theme while I take up Rodrigo's.

"Three of the works on this album have been enriched by the angelic voice of Jakub Józef Orlinski. In these three, Egberto Gismonti's guitar composition 'Água e Vinho,' my own 'Quarantine Song,' and even the famous 'Adela' by Joaquin Rodrigo, the voice has been treated more as an instrument than a lyrical subject. 'Quarantine Song' was composed during the COVID-19 quarantine in 2020 specially for Jakub Józef Orlinski as its performer. 'Pedro' was inspired by the films of Pedro Almodóvar." — Aleksander Debicz
