About

Under the direction of its Chief Conductor Alexander Liebreich, the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra has become the leading ensemble in the country and is one of Europe’s major radio orchestras. As cultural ambassadors with a rich tradition, the orchestra has made its mark through performances of Polish composers, as it is impressively seen in this cycle that features works by Karol Szymanowski and Witold Lutoslawski. The three-part cycle was unanimously praised by international reviews and received the International Classical Music Award 2017 as “Best Collection”. Now, all three albums are available as a 3-release set, presented here.

Reviews

March/April 2020

Throughout the entire program, Liebreich and his Polish musicians maintain a high standard of performance. It is clearly music that means much to them, but one also gets a forceful impression of re-examination. Nothing is pat or hidebound by tradition. Both soloists are first-rate.
