Liner notes in English and French.

Throughout the years, the Edmonton Composers’ Concert Society has continuously developed artistic and collegial partnerships with musicians and musical organisations across Europe. One of such partnerships has been with Polish composers and Polish Radio, as well as with the Polish Section of the International Society for Contemporary Music (ISCM). This newest recording, Nine Visions, is the result of just such a partnership, and the works included on it are a remarkable variety of musical creativity and stylistic diversity.
