Speed pod: Poland

In this speed pod episode, we talked to HarrisonParrott Artist Coordinator Maja Rath to tell us more about the sounds of Poland. Maja tells us about what influences there are on Polish music, and introduces us to several highly influential Polish composers. As well as providing listeners with a wealth of musical insights, Maja also gives us her personal recommendations for a Polish novelist, album and film, so we can dive deeper into understanding Polish culture and its contribution to the world.

Maja was interviewed by HP’s Fiona Livingston.

Maja’s Recommendations:

• Book (novelist): Stanisław Lem — sci-fi author of Solaris.
• Album: Zakopower’s Boso
• Film: The Pianist, director Roman Polanski. Watch the trailer here.
