Karol Szymanowski

Karol Maciej Korwin-Szymanowski (October 6, 1882–March 28, 1937) was a Polish composer and pianist. His style developed in three distinct stages, from a strong affinity with Richard Strauss, Alexander Scriabin and countryman Frédéric Chopin, to flavourings of the Orient, the Mediterranean, and the impressionism of Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel, to Polish folk music and the Eastern Church. Even when writing in a Polish idiom, Szymanowski far exceeded the established musical language of central Europe, and is remembered as an exotic outlier of 20th century music.

Amaryllis

1. Polish band describing itself: "At first sight it seems that we are an unforgivenable hybride which combines two kinds of music separated from each other by hundreds of years"
This group mixes progresive rock with medieval music in an amazing way as if combining two worlds: one is electric and bass guitar, drums and keyboards, second - lute and female voice. Thus was born the extraordinairy sound, full of expresion, rythm, and might, but not deprived of lyricism and mysticism.
2. Greek Amaryllis band - their music is mixing fresh sounds with traditional Greek music
