RELEASE DATE: 1996
CATALOGUE NO. ACD 019
GENRE: symphonic music
A collection of the best Polish symphonies from the second part of the 19th century. Their composers enjoyed huge popularity and recognition in their time. The music still sounds superb, partly thanks to the fantastic interpretation of the Sinfonia Varsovia under Grzegorz Nowak. Do not overlook the true pearl, the concerto overture Bajka (The Fairy Tale) by the master of song and opera Stanislaw Moniuszko. The Album of the Year ’96. Grzegorz Nowak and the Sinfonia Varsovia have worked wonders […] It is one of the best and most surprising recordings I have heard… [Studio 10/96, M. Tokarska]
