About the composer
Apart from the beginning and the end of his life (1744 - 1806), very little is
known about Jozef Zeidler. For a long time, Zeidler was absent from the musical life of Poland and
Europe. Nowadays his music is once again performed. In 2006 there were concerts
to mark the 200th aniversary of Zeidler's death, during the First Festival of
Oratory Music.
The concerts, dedicated to his memory were released on the internet, on radio
and tv. Zeidler is referred to as "the Polish Mozart".
