composed by Karol Szymanowski

A highly satisfying survey of Karol Szymanowski's late Romantic and Modernist works, this Gemini double-disc is a compilation of recordings originally made for EMI between 1974 and 1981. Szymanowski's development is chronologically traced in the orchestral music, commencing with bold strokes of Straussian color in the early Concert Overture and ...

performed by Danielle Laval (piano), Garrick Ohlsson (piano), Paolo Bordoni (piano), Polish Radio Symphony Orchestra, Jerzy Maksymiuk (conductor)
composed by Frédéric Chopin

Although this two-disc set features a wealth of smaller and lesser-known works of Chopin, the collection definitively shines the spotlight on the two piano concertos and the performance of legendary Chopin interpreter Garrick Ohlsson. This remastered recording of the 1976 originals does immense justice to the suave, elegant nature that ...

performed by Joanna Kurkowicz (violin), Polish Radio Symphony Orchestra, Lukasz Borowicz (conductor)
composed by Grazyna Bacewicz

Chandos certainly hedged its bets right when it came to programming its second release with Polish violinist Joanna Kurkowicz; although they are well known and popular in former Eastern bloc countries, the violin concertos of Polish composer Grazyna Bacewicz have never been circulated on recordings in the West. The Concerto No. 7 (1965) -- ...

Mussorgsky: Boris Godunov (1993) more music like this

performed by Aage Haugland (vocals), Andrzej Hiolski (vocals), Bohdan Paprocki (vocals), Bozena Brun-Baranska (vocals), Bozena Kinasz (vocals), Halina Lukomska (vocals), Jan Góralski (vocals), Kasimierz Sergiel (vocals), Kazimierz Pustelak (vocals)
composed by Modest Mussorgsky

EMI's 1977 recording of a conflation of Mussorgsky's two versions of Boris Godunov suffers from an excess of restraint and propriety. The fault lies largely with Jerzy Semkow, who conducts the opera with Classical reserve. He seems unwilling to urge the orchestra or singers to produce a full-blooded fortissimo, or to attack the notes with ferocity ...
