" Lullabies for Hugo "
Agata and Lukasz Dlugosz, eminent Polish flutists and friends of Piotr Moss, had a child: Hugo. To celebrate this event, Piotr Moss has specially composed these six lullabies and offered them as a birth gift.
The happy parents now play them for Hugo, introducing him to the world of music. Hugo's favorite lullaby is the one that contains elements of Polish folklore: the sixth one.
