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survey of Karol Szymanowski's late Romantic and Modernist works, this Gemini double-disc is a compilation of recordings originally made for EMI between 1974 and 1981.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 ...

composed by Leos Janácek

It's hard to think of a twentieth century Czech-language opera that has enjoyed more success than Leos Janácek's Jenufa, and there is certainly no shortage of good recordings of it, including one in English. Among the most exceptional is this 1983 effort for Decca led by Charles Mackerras, now revived in its The Originals series. Elisabeth S ...

Penderecki: Symphony No. 7 "Seven Gates of Jerusalem" (2006) more music like this

composed by Krzysztof Penderecki

The most notable feature of Penderecki's Symphony No. 7, "Seven Gates of Jerusalem," is that it sounds more like an oratorio than a symphony; in fact, one movement is set for a cappella chorus. It is not surprising, then, to discover that Penderecki wrote the piece in 1996 as an oratorio in celebration of Jerusalem's third millennium and didn't ...

performed by Waldemar Malicki (piano), Wieslaw Ochman (baritone), Warsaw National Philharmonic Choir (choir, chorus), Warsaw National Philharmonic Orchestra, Antoni Wit (conductor)
composed by Wojciech Kilar

Among contemporary Polish composers, Henryk Gorécki has nearly outdistanced the long-established popularity of Krzysztof Penderecki, partly due to his willingness to abandon the international style fostered in Darmstadt in favor of a calm, quiet, and accessible style that nonetheless effectively takes on the challenge of Poland's disastrous place ...
