About
The composition of a ninth symphony has represented a symbolic challenge within the tradition for almost every composer after Beethoven. Andrzej Panufnik met this challenge with his most ambitious and large-scale work.
It was supposed to be a choral symphony, but Panufnik decided against this: ‘The Sinfonia di Speranza reflects my musical interpretation of the ideal of hope: within its notes I have tried to incorporate a spiritual message, an expression of my faith in mankind as well as my longing for racial and religious tolerance among all people’.

Awards and reviews
October 2013
the Berlin players clearly relish [Sinfonia della speranza], as they do Panufnik's ever-imaginative scoring, and the tension never lets up. Borowicz provides a firm guiding hand for this unusual and original work and steers it to a shattering climax...this Concertino is dramatic, varied and highly enjoyable.
3rd October 2013
this recording is a superbly detailed and atmospheric rendition of a masterpiece for percussion and orchestra.
22nd August 2013
As in the previous instalments of CPO's series devoted to Panufnik's symphonic works, the performances under Lukas Borowicz seem scrupulously precise.
