A vibrant survey of Polish and Central European music spanning nearly 250 years, Ëvoe's The Heart of Europe examines a period overlapping the Renaissance and the Baroque, and illustrates the development of musical culture in the lands of the Corona Regni Poloniae (Crown of the Kingdom of Poland). This 2018 release embraces a variety of musical forms and instrumental combinations, including consort music, liturgical motets, and dances, led by violinist and conductor Stefan Plewniak, and performed by Il Giardino d'Amore orchestra and vocal ensemble, the trombone quartet Trombastic, and the Tempus vocal quartet. Recorded at the Festival of Polish Music in Cracow in July 2015, the celebrations marked six centuries of Polish and Turkish cultural contacts, and the program also reflects the influence of 17th century military conflicts between Poland and the Ottoman Empire, which introduced janissary ensembles to the Polish court; this is reflected in Turcaria by the Austrian composer Johann Joseph Fux. But this work, along with Heinrich Ignaz von Biber's similarly inspired Battalia and Caspar Klosemann's suite, Tabulatura Amoenitatum Musicalium Hortulus, are exceptions to the works by the mostly Polish contingent gathered here, including Johannes of Lublin, Wojciech Bobowski, Mikolaj Zielenski, Marcin Mielczewski, and Grzegorz Gerwazy Gorczycki, whose music took root in Poland, though it is barely known in the West. While this album is only a sampler of Polish early music, it offers a tantalizing glimpse into the nation's colorful history and connects it to more familiar developments in Western Europe.
