About

To mark the centenary of the birth of Andzej Panufnik (1914-1991), Heritage is proud to release a composer-conducted performance of his 9th Symphony and Bassoon Concerto, in which he collaborates with Robert Thompson for whom the piece was written. The performances were made for the BBC in 1987 and first broadcast in 1990. Symphony No. 9, Sinfonia di Speranza, is Panufnik’s musical interpretation of the ideal of hope: a spiritual message, an expression of faith in mankind and a longing for racial and religious tolerance. The Bassoon Concerto was composed as a memorial to martyrdom inspired by the persecution, at the hands of the Polish secret police, of Father Jerzy Popieluszko.

[the Bassoon Concerto] has a pronounced grainy grimness offset by dramatic impulses and Thompson’s beautiful lyric tone. The hopeful symphony not only takes the rainbow as a symbol, but endeavours to translate its optical principles into music.
