The great Sinfonia Varsovia under Wojciech Michniewski presents the symphonic works of the greatest Polish modern composer Witold Lutoslawski, including the impressive Funeral Music… The Fryderyk ’96 Award. A superb album that presents comprehensively the artistic output of Lutoslawski… I do recommend this record. [Studio 1/97, M. Kominek]
