ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS PERFORMANCE

Józef Kozłowski (Russian: О́сип Анто́нович Козло́вский, romanized: Osip Antonovich Kozlovsky, also Иосиф or Юзеф; 1757/1759 – 11 March [O.S. 27 February] 1831) was a Russian composer of Polish origin.For the most part of his life Józef Kozłowski was attached to the Russian Imperial Court, for which he wrote most of his music. In Russia he became popular especially for his patriotic polonaises.

Sources vary as to Kozłowski’s time and place of birth. The Polish academia traditionally considers him as a native of Warsaw, born on 10 September 1759. According to the Encyclopedia of Literature and Art of Belarus (1985), he was born in 1757 in Kozlovichi manor near Propoysk (modern Slawharad, Belarus). Author of encyclopedia entry V. D. Bobrovsky based his claim on the data from a metric book he found in Sokolovo, Slawharad District. An obituary in Northern Bee, presumably written by Thaddeus Bulgarin, described Kozłowski as a “descendant of Belarusian nobility.”

Between 1799 and 1819 Kozłowski supervised the theatre orchestras and the theatrical college at St Petersburg. Kozłowski composed a famous Requiem Mass in E flat minor Missa pro defunctis for the death of Stanisław August Poniatowski, the King of Poland (1732–1798), commissioned by the King himself before his death and performed on 25 February 1798 in St Petersburg. The second version (1825), already without horn orchestra (and most probably also organ, judging by the only recording of this opus made in Russia in 1988 by «Melody») was prepared by the composer for the funeral of Russian Emperor Alexander I. Naturally the latter was an orthodox Christian, but the Requiem was needed for his death for one apparently formal reason: Alexander I also held the title of monarch of the Kingdom of Poland (1815-1825). The last time the Requiem was performed in its original form in St Petersburg was in 1804, and the last performance of the second version was in 2004 (Bolshoi Hall of the St Petersburg Philharmonic). His considerable production included stage music for Edip v Afinakh (Oedipus in Athens, 1804), Fingal (tragedy by V. Ozerov, 1805), Tsar Edip (Oedipus Rex) (1816), Esther (by Racine 1816), liturgical music including the Te Deum, cantatas, choruses, songs (including 28 Russian songs), about 70 polonaises and other dance music for the court balls, etc.
