我記起來了！那次的確參觀了St. Martin-in-the-Fields教堂！St. Martin-in-the-Fields其實對我有特別意義：當年初聽古典音樂，朋友介紹我聽了好些由Neville Marriner指揮的，Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields彈奏的Mozart和Vivaldi樂曲。
唱奏會的地點正是Wieliczka Salt Mine。可惜我當年對此地點毫無概念，地名的三個字只模糊地存於腦海深處。
現居Krakow的Preisner夫子自道：
I had to know whether my music 'sounded' as good without a film accompanying it. ... To check this, I chose the Wieliczka salt mine, near Krakow: a secret, mysterious magical place 130 metres below ground. A unique atmosphere with exceptional acoustics.
The risk was great though: a subterranean symphony orchestra connected by 400 metres of cables to technical equipment on the ground above. Anything could have happened. Yet it all went incredibly well. ... I wanted to put on a musical show. The concert was indeed a rite, a 'mysterium'.
My audience and I felt that my music lived its own life, albeit entirely at my command. Far from the studios and the mixing rooms, I rediscovered the soul of the orchestra and, for the first time ever, I heard my music exactly as I imagined it. I will always remember the Wieliczka concert as a unique step forward in the pursuit of my artistic freedom.
Preisner's Music是我非常鐘愛的CD，偶然地對它的認識又深了一層。

結果，缺少了Preisner的地下音樂，我覺得Wieliczka Salt Mine奇特有趣，但亦僅此而已：
Nowa Huta（=New Steel Mill/新鋼廠），位於波蘭Krakow市，乃當年共產政權致力發展的模範工業城區，至今仍隨處可見斯大林風民居和公共設施。諷刺的是，共產退潮後，市政府於2004年通過將Nowa Huta的中央廣場易名為Plac Centralny im. Ronalda Reagana，紀念那位反共不遺餘力的前美國總統。
出發前讀旅遊資料，原來離Krakow不遠的
