Warner Music Poland Release Information



“Droga za widnokres” (The Road to Widnokres) is Marek Grechuta’s third album, but the first recorded without the band Anawa. It was recorded and released by Polskie Nagrania in Warsaw in 1972. The title track comes from Tadeusz Śliwiak’s collection “Widnokres”.

Grechuta’s sparse compositions helped bringing out the musical potential hidden in the poets’ lyrics. The result was an “underground” album – detached from its historical context and the trends of the time – completely timeless and still fascinating. The reissue has been released on 180 g vinyl.

As Daniel Wyszogrodzki, an expert and great admirer of Marek Grechuta’s work, wrote: “This album is true Polish underground. Grechuta breaks with the romantic image and records the poems of contemporary poets with jazz musicians. Captivating, trance-like music and words that stay with us forever.”
