In Poland, for the last two decades and particularly in recent years there has been a growing need for a reinterpretation of the peasant class and especially its culture. It is difficult, perhaps, to unambiguously ascribe Zygmunt Krauze's folkloristic output to intentional, notional harbingers of those re-evaluations, but it certainly became a powerful antithesis to the protectional "polishing" that peaked a quarter of a century earlier. In Krauze, an unconventional attitude is combined with an "immersion" (to use the composer's own word) in the sound environment, resulting in work that is fresh, original and - against the Polish background of its times - distinctive.
W Polsce od dwóch dekad narasta potrzeba reinterpretacji schedy kultury (i w ogóle warstwy) ch³opskiej, intensyfikuj±ca siê zw³aszcza ostatnio. Trudno chyba jednoznacznie przypisaæ folklorystyczn± twórczo¶æ Zygmunta Krauzego z lat 70. doumy¶lnych, ideowych zwiastunów tych przewarto¶ciowañ, ale z pewno¶ci± sta³a siê ona siln± antytez± protekcjonalnego "oszlifowywania", jakie mia³o swoje apogeum æwieræ wieku wcze¶niej. Niekonwencjonalne nastawienie ³±czy siê u Krauzego z "zanurzeniem" (by u¿yæ s³owa kompozytora) w ¶rodowisko d¼wiêkowe, daj±c w rezultacie dzie³o oryginalne i ¶wie¿e, a na polskim tle swoich czasów - osobne.
