Description: Except for the 1927 Sonatina these are post-Auschwitz-survival pieces dating as late as the Divertimento and the arrangement of the String Quartet No. 3 on Polish themes for piano quintet, both from 1967, the year he stopped composing. But his wartime experiences didn’t change Laks’ essential style: the bright and sometimes angular neo-classicism of the Parisian scene of the 1920s and 1930s also favored by his Polish compatriot and friend Alexander Tansman. ARC Ensemble with Sarah Jeffrey (oboe) and Frank Morelli (bassoon).
