Zygmunt Stojowski was one of Poland’s most outstanding figures in post-romantic music. The first piece heard on the CD is the cantata, Prayer for Poland, op. 40. The cantata holds a unique position among large scale works written during and inspired by the Great War. Suite for Orchestra in E-flat, op. 9, written in 1890-91, is an orchestral gem of late 19th century Polish music. The work not only displays the brilliant compositional skills and talents of an extraordinary young composer, but it also distinguishes Stojowski as a Polish composer. Finally, the last work on this CD, the cantata Le printemps, op. 7, shows the light-hearted side of Stojowski
