About
Although he had famous students (amongst whom Szymanowski) and a famous teacher, Moniuszko, few listeners know much, if anything, about Zygmunt Noskowski. And yet, for most of the 19th century, he was the primary exponent of modern symphonic music in Poland. His Third Symphony and his symphonic poem The Steppe, Op. 66 blend sweeping Romanticism with Polish folk spirit. The symphony is a journey through the seasons while The Steppe evokes Poland’s vast landscapes with colourful hints of Borodin's In the Steppes of Central Asia.
