MUSIC OF REFLECTION AND RECOLLECTIONS
In this Symphony (Third Symphony by Henryk Mikołaj Górecki) the sound reminded me irresitibly of a large organ. It was certainly intensified by the faultless playing of the musicians, the characteristic acoustics of the church, as well as through the person of the splendid conductor Marek Kudlicki. The evening concert was beautiful and a success.

KUDLICKI IN BYTOM
The piece (Symphony in D major by Michael Haydn) was played with enormous gracefulness and precision. The audiences attached considerable expectations to the performance of “Three Pieces” by Henryk Mikołaj Górecki.
Marek Kudlicki, together with the orchestra, mastered the thick composition magnificently – all performed clearly and dynamically.

AN EXCITING DISCOVERY FROM VIENNA
Marek Kudlicki, who led the “Concert of the Austrian Embassy”, moved the listeners to astonishment. He mobilized the Silesian Philharmonic Orchestra into a rousing performance. Kudlicki – an excellent organist and conductor – proved that he has deep feelings for the symphonies of Zemlinsky and Bruckner. He understands how to interpret those works and to deliver them in a manner which captivates the audiences.

CONCERT IN THE KEY OF E MINOR
To close, the Symphony No. 1 in e minor, Op. 1 by N. Rimsky-Korsakov was heard. Marek Kudlicki conducted the work from memory. As an organist used to the rich harmonic sounds of this instrument, he mastered the sumptious score and the melodic humour of the symphony with bravado. The entrances of the individual instruments were thoroughly recognizable.

… A further bright moment should not be ignored: the marvellous performance of the small orchestra (conductor: Marek Kudlicki), which, from the first note onwards, played with humour and a secure feeling for nuances. (Operetta “The White Horse Inn”)

… One definitely has to mention the performance of the excellent orchestra under the direction of Marek Kudlicki, which managed to play precisely and beautifully, supporting the singers impressively in spite of the unfavourable division of the room-space allotted for the work (Operetta “The White Horse Inn”)

… The orchestra was well disposed and very well conducted by Marek Kudlicki who understood perfectly how to bring the wonderful colours and exciting rhythms and dynamics contained within the score to life. (Operetta “The Csardas Princess”)
