Roxanna Panufnik: My Man from Faithful Journey - A Mass for Poland / Mirga Gražinytė-Tyla, Mary Bevan, CBSO Chorus

Roxanna Panufnik’s music is a family affair for the CBSO – her father, the composer Sir Andrzej Panufnik, became our chief conductor after escaping from communist Poland in the 1950s. Six decades later, in 2018, the CBSO and its choruses premiered Roxanna Panufnik’s choral work Faithful Journey. It’s a personal, profoundly moving reflection on Polish history, drawing on Panufnik’s own experiences as a daughter, a mother, and one of Britain’s most powerful and communicative living composers. The soprano aria My Man reflects on Poland’s wartime sufferings from a perspective that is both intimate and universal: a solitary but passionate voice, speaking for all humanity.
