Recent Releases No. 56 (CD Reviews)
by Karl NehringZygmunt Noskowski: Symphony No. 1 in A major; Symphony No. 2 in C minor, “Elegiac.” Deutsche Staatsphilharmonie Rheinland-Pfalz; Antoni Wit, conductor. Capriccio C5509.Once again we have the exquisite pleasure of discovering worthwhile music by a composer whose name had been completely unknown to us (and probably many other music lovers) until now. It turns out that the relatively unknown Polish composer Zygmunt Noskowski (1846-1909) was a teacher of Szymanowski and student of Moniuszko, and for much of the 19th century was the primary exponent of contemporary symphonic music in Poland. In fact, Noskowski is considered to be one of the most significant Polish composers of the nineteenth century, one who produced successful output in nearly all musical genres: ballet, opera, sacred works, symphonies, symphonic poems, and smaller works (including works for children), especially for piano.

Farewells: Jakub Józef Orliński and Michal Biel launch their new album at the Polish Hearth Club
This week, counter-tenor Jakub Józef Orliński's new album is out on Erato. Having recorded albums of (often rare) Baroque repertoire, he has moved in a different direction. Along with pianist Michał Biel, Orliński has recorded Farewells, a disc of songs by Polish composers from Moniuszko right through to the contemporary. This is repertoire which is woefully addressed in the concert hall and Farewells reveals a fascinating repertory that few will be familiar with. On Saturday, Jakub Józef Orliński and Michał Biel performed a selection of songs from the disc at the Polish Hearth Club in South Kensington, and also talked about their musical partnership and exploring Polish music. We began with a song from Henryk Czyż (1923-2003) whose centenary occurs next year. We heard a song from his Farewells which gives the album its name; a lyrically melancholy, almost bluesy number that seemed capture a number of interesting influences. Then a group of songs Mieczysław Karłowicz (1876-1909), […]
