Placzkowski (Dennis) was a soloist with the Polish Nightingales led by
W. Alexander Krolopp and also a pupil at the exclusive Polish Choral
School founded by Jerzy Kurczewski. His first performance was in
Bernsteins Chichester Psalms at Caracalla with the Rome Opera
Orchestra. As well as more than 300 concerts with the choir he also
specialized in the soprano solos of St. John Passion by J. S. Bach and
took part in 36 performances of Mozart’s opera The Magic Flute
(Bad Hersfeld, Berlin). He has his own album entitled 'Dennis and the
Polish Nightingales' recorded when he was 13/14. He is also a main
soloist on the album 'Baroque in South America'. He features in the
documentary film L'Or des Anges, two Polish films, Volate Angeli and
Misa encarnación and with Bartosz Rajpold he recorded music by
Heinrich Schütz accompanied by period instruments.
Dennis appears briefly in the film L'or des Anges. He has a more
prominent role in the film 'Rejoice' included on the same DVD. Above we
see him practising the Messiah with Edward Higginbottom and below
singing solo with the Polish Nightingales. He is also interviewed. The
