The Warsaw Accordeon Quintet, winner of the first prize at the European Chamber Music Festival in Annemasse, France (1972) was funded in 1961 by Wlodzimierz Lech Puchnowski and existed under his leadership until 1989.  The members of the Quintet, leading Polish artists, were graduates of the F. Chopin Academy of Music in Warsaw where they studied with him.  The Quintet played in over 1600 concerts all over Europe and Asia, performing at 25 national and international festivals of contemporary music such as "Warsaw Autumn", also making numerous radio and television appearances.  The Quintet's repertoire ranged from baroque figures and canzonas to contemporary compositions written especially for them.  They made four LP and two CD recordings.  Their excellent mastery of technique and style,  feeling, sincerity and spontaneity of playing, their artistic merits and considerable achievements won them universal acclaim and attracted the attention of the music world and music lovers in Poland and abroad.  The quintet plays on the accordian model Giulietti produced especially for its members by the Zero Sette Accordion Factory of Castelfidardo.  The following recordings come directly from different concerts of the Quintet.
