1. Odnalezione instrumenty cz.I Rediscovered Instruments part I
A series (IV parts) of films that records the history of the reconstruction of the Bilgoray suka and Plock fiddle. This is very personal story by Maria Pomianowska about her adventure with recreating the sound of forgotten Polish string instruments. The author tells how she recreated the sound of a lost tradition.The basic instrument of the Polish folk music is a violin. Since modern violin is a relatively new element in the folk music, Maria Pomianowska with Ewa Dahlig and Andrzej Kuczkowski 27 years ago decided to revive the distinct past time tradition, namely instruments played using a so-called fingernail technique, including suka from Bilgoraj, (Bilgoray suka) which survived until the end of the 19th C. 16th C. fiddle from Plock. The 6-string Plock fiddle was excavated in 1985. The uniqueness of this instrument can be seen in the form of the bridge, which has two unequal legs, as well as the very primary construction, close to medieval instruments (no fingerboard, no tailpiece). The 4-string suka has been reconstructed on the base of iconographic sources ( water -paint from XIX C), since no specimen of the instrument had survived until the modern days. Contemporary reconstruction of playing technique was possible, thanks to the long and profound experiences of Maria Pomianowska with instruments from India, Mongolia, Middle East , Far East and cello. In the second part of the cycle we will also get to know the work of folk artist Zbigniew Butryn, who recreated Bilgoray suka based on a postage stamp.There will be stories about the court of Japan where the sound of Bilgoray suka and Plock fiddle resounded many times. There will be stories about concerts with YoYo Ma, Kayhan Kalhor, Hossein Alizadeh and other great artists who fell in love with the recreated Polish old instruments.
