Our Reaction to Ewa Demarczyk - Grande Valse Brillante (Sopot 1964)

[@MaxSujyPOL]

WOW!!

[@maciejzniebuszewa8077]

Now try the lyrical and delicate Ewa Demarczyk in the song "Groszki i róże" - Peas and Roses. You will fly off the earth.

[@bogna8877]

Yes, it is Edith Piaf, Brel parisiene singing traditions. The storytelling is very important in such songs. "Karuzela z Madonnami" may be even better take of her talent.

Posłuchajcie "Karuzelę z Madonnami" Ewy Demarczyk. To jest dopiero mistrzostwo🙂

[@Polans-gd]

Chopin was Polish. His mother was Polish, his father was French (his father was a French teacher and governer and worked for a Polish noble). Chopin was born in Poland, grew up and got education in Poland. Chopin left for France, but he was very attached to Poland and was very supportive of the Polish people at that time - together with them, he did everything for Poland to regain its independence. When he was dying he asked his sister to transport his heart to Poland after his death (he missed Poland so much), because transporting his body to Poland at that time was impossible. Please don't spread lies about Chopin on the internet 🙏🙏🙏

Jego ojciec też był Polakiem. Urodził się we Francji, ale przyjechał tu za młodu i resztę życia w Polsce spędził. Uważał się później za Polaka.

[@zygmuntwziatek6964]

Ewa Demarczyk to ikona polskiej piosenki. W życiu wydała tylko jedną płytę w 1967 r., ale tak doskonałą, że każdy Polak średniego pokolenia ją pamięta ( polecam jeszcze bardziej ekspresyjną "Baczyński's poetry"). Skojarzenie z Edith Piaf bardzo słuszne, bo Ewa Demarczyk miała koncert w paryskiej Olimpii. Przez wiele lat (do 1976 r.) śpiewała w krakowskiej "Piwnicy pod Baranami"- takim literackim kabarecie, który istnieje do dzisiaj - i była jej największą gwiazdą. Dlatego dobrze skojarzyliście, że jej wykonanie przypomina grę na scenie. W latach 1986-2020 założyła własny Teatr Muzyki i Poezji. W 1998 roku udzieliła - o ile pamiętam dobrze - ostatniego wywiadu ( w Krakowie, nie w Warszawie - krzesła Was zmyliły ). Natomiast w 1999 r. wykonała ostatni publiczny koncert i wycofała się ze sceny muzycznej. Bardzo chroniła swoją prywatność.

[@Cubus-zapasowy]

Wydała dwie płyty - "Ewa Demarczyk śpiewa piosenki Zygmunta Koniecznego" w 1967 i "Ewa Demarczyk" w 1974. Właściwie to trzy, bo jeszcze w 1979 powstała płyta z wersjami koncertowymi jej piosenek.

Ewa Demarczyk was fantastic. It's a diamond of Polish music from my parents' generation... but I love it anyway.

[@mojeparanoje9030]

Ewa Demarczyk experienced each of her songs so much that she fainted many times after leaving the stage.

[@bozenagogolewska7250]

As to Chopin. Very strong bond with his mother,who was his first teacher of piano ,often with pleasure plaing and singing polish country songs. In his last letter to mother Chopin plead was - his heart if it wasn't posible whole his body, was burried in polish ground. He missed his family and country obvieusly.

[@PiotrJaser]

Chopin's father came from France, but he spent most of his life in Poland and felt like a Pole. Frederic Chopin's mother was Polish and came from poor Polish nobility.

You're downing one vodka after another at the bar... With your eyes scanning the wooden hall, your heart pounding (Do you remember?) The orchestra slowly subsides, dies down He says that right away (Do you remember, how you with me..?) Your eyes already found mine Already, in a daze, you make your way Already, in a moment…(Do you remember how you danced with me?...) You approach on tiptoe and, right away, above our heads thundered the waltz We are swept up for a life-and-death dance By Grande Valse Brillante Refrain: Do you remember how you waltzed with me, A virgin, madonna, the legend of those days Do you remember how the whole world rushed to dance The world that fell in your arms A frightened blasphemer, you pressed to your heart That hidden blossoming pair Hotly uplifted, breathing in unison Like all of me, in conjecture and fog And those two above these two, which also are, but aren’t ‘cause are covered with lashes, hidden inside, and cast downward It’s as if they were there and caressed with blueness Once this one, than the other, half and half. Your eyes rolling across the ceiling, you touch the stars with your nose Spin upon the ground, feign a strongman Flex your feeble muscles, strain your weak chest I shall have an athlete and hussar for husband Refrain... Suddenly, a foot got stuck, a splinter lodged in a shoe 'Cause my pretender for husband has a hole in the sole. But he always pulls away, is free, it's fine And he's waltzing, shuffling along with the turned-up sole Refrain... Tekst pochodzi z www.tekstowo.pl/piosenka,ewa_demarczyk,grande_valse_brillante.html

Frédéric François Chopin (born Fryderyk Franciszek Chopin; 1 March 1810 - 17 October 1849) was a Polish composer and virtuoso pianist of the Romantic period, who wrote primarily for solo piano. He has maintained worldwide renown as a leading musician of his era, one whose "poetic genius was based on a professional technique that was without equal in his generation". Chopin was born in Żelazowa Wola and grew up in Warsaw, which in 1815 became part of Congress Poland. A child prodigy, he completed his musical education and composed his earlier works in Warsaw before leaving Poland at the age of 20, less than a month before the outbreak of the November 1830 Uprising. At 21, he settled in Paris. Thereafter he gave only 30 public performances, preferring the more intimate atmosphere of the salon. He supported himself by selling his compositions and by giving piano lessons, for which he was in high demand. Chopin formed a friendship with Franz Liszt and was admired by many of his musical contemporaries, including Robert Schumann. After a failed engagement to Maria Wodzińska from 1836 to 1837, he maintained an often troubled relationship with the French writer Aurore Dupin (known by her pen name George Sand). A brief and unhappy visit to Mallorca with Sand in 1838-39 would prove one of his most productive periods of composition. In his final years, he was supported financially by his admirer Jane Stirling. For most of his life, Chopin was in poor health. He died in Paris in 1849 at the age of 39. All of Chopin's compositions feature the piano. Most are for solo piano, though he also wrote two piano concertos, some chamber music, and 19 songs set to Polish lyrics. His piano pieces are technically demanding and expanded the limits of the instrument; his own performances were noted for their nuance and sensitivity. Chopin's major piano works include mazurkas, waltzes, nocturnes, polonaises, the instrumental ballade (which Chopin created as an instrumental genre), études, impromptus, scherzi, preludes, and sonatas, some published only posthumously. Among the influences on his style of composition were Polish folk music, the classical tradition of Mozart and Schubert, and the atmosphere of the Paris salons, of which he was a frequent guest. His innovations in style, harmony, and musical form, and his association of music with nationalism, were influential throughout and after the late Romantic period. Chopin's music, his status as one of music's earliest celebrities, his indirect association with political insurrection, his high-profile love life, and his early death have made him a leading symbol of the Romantic era. His works remain popular, and he has been the subject of numerous films and biographies of varying historical fidelity. Among his many memorials is the Fryderyk Chopin Institute, which was created by the Parliament of Poland to research and promote his life and works. It hosts the International Chopin Piano Competition, a prestigious competition devoted entirely to his works.

takiej jak Ewa Demarczyk dlugo nie bedzie -Jej juz nie ma ale zostaly piosenki

[@kotisded]

Chopin was Polish! Maria Skłodowska-Curie also!

[@Gubbe51]

Ewa Demarczyk was the greatest Polish singer. She was Poland's Edith Piaf, Jacques Brel and Celine Dion in one person. She was educated theatre actress and piano player. She sung only songs with texts written by genuine poets, and the text was more important than music, nevertheless all her songs have beautiful music written by best composers. She was a perfectionist, and she worked with every song for months, so she had a repertoir of no more than 50 or 60 songs. She broke down and fell into depression in her early fifties, and her career collapsed. Hundreds of thousands of people in Poland loved her, and often travelled to distant destinations to hear her performing.

In Poland, we distinguish such a genre as "Actor's Song" (we even have such a festival in Wrocław). We can say that Ewa Demarczyk was its precursor.

Ewa Demarczyk is a legend of polish singing poetry, even though she only released two studio albums in her entire life (actually three, but the third one was just live versions). Only two albums, but man, really impressive songs, like this one.

[@tomaszmankowski9103]

Ewa Demarczyk was indeed compared to Edith Piaf. She is one of the artists dealing with 'sung poetry', so expressing emotions, telling a story, engaging in a discussion as a part of singing a poem is all a part of the show. If you want something even more intense the way she sung "Wiersze wojenne" (War poems) by Krzysztof Kamil Baczyński is... very haunting. It is a piece of war poetry, straight from the apocalyptic reality of the late WW2. If you listen to this you will agree that she deserves her nickname... "The Dark Angel". kzbin.info/www/bejne/fKWYZGaYZ9Bpb5o

I hope you translated the text of the song. A woman talks to her man but also describes him and recalks their meeting and first rather unmotivating impressions. Many of us can wear such shoes and feel her unstable emotions which are so perfectly presented. 😊

[@kumarro11]

Perhaps an explanation for these inconsistencies about Chopin and Marie Skłodowska Curie. They were born and lived in times when Poland did not exist. France was a superpower at that time and competed with Germany and Russia, among others. It was important for it to restore Poland to the map because it meant weakening Germany and Russia. It is worth adding that despite the fact that Poland did not exist, Polish culture experienced a huge boom at that time. After the lost uprisings during the partitions, Poles understood that the way to freedom does not lead only through the fight, but also through the pen and the mind. For obvious reasons, Polish intelligentsia could not remain on Polish lands. Most of them found asylum in France. Therefore, despite the fact that Chopin and Maria were ethnically Polish, they owe just as much to France. However, they never forgot about their country. The proof is that Chopin wrote in his will the wish for his heart to be buried in Poland, and Maria named one of the discovered elements Polon.

[@kumarro11]

Another important figure was Ignacy Jan Paderewski. He, in turn, played concerts in the USA, where he advocated for Poland. His work was very important. His arrival in the country itself caused an uprising against the Germans. It was one of the few victorious uprisings in the history of our country. Powstanie Wielkopolskie

Max, if you're Canadian how could you not recognize that the title of this song was French?

Greetings from Poland.

[@MaxSujyPOL]

I'm Québécois indeed. French is my first language. Grande = Big or Tall , Valse = type of dance, and Brillante = Brilliant. So each word individually are French but together don't make any sense. That's why I thought it was Italian since those words are also common there in different order. A more French wording would be "Une brillante grande valse!". But "Grande Valse Brilliante" doesn't make any sense..

[@lech2897]

@@MaxSujyPOL Chopin spoke French. His father was French and his mother Polish. His father worked as a teacher of the French language in a Polish nobleman's house. Chopin spent the second half of his life as an emigree in Paris when he had to flee Poland after the fall of the November uprising in 1830. Poles tried to liberate themselves from the Russian yoke but were once again defeated. There was another big uprising in 1863 but also unsuccessful. Finally, Poland regained its independence in 1918.
