Karlowicz - Symphonic Poems Volume 2

Karlowicz:

Returning Waves, Op. 9

A Sorrowful Tale, Op. 13

Eternal Songs, Op. 10

New Zealand Symphony Orchestra, Antoni Wit

Mieczyslaw Karlowicz’s six symphonic poems, composed between 1904-09, are the pinnacles of a career tragically ended when he perished in an avalanche during a solitary mountain hike.

His fame as one of the outstanding Polish composers of his generation rests on these highly original, lushly-scored masterpieces, the first, second and fifth of which are included on this second volume.

Bitterly criticised by contemporary Polish critics as examples of ‘modernist chaos’, these splendid Neo-Romantic works show both Karlowicz’s intense admiration for Wagner, Tchaikovsky and Richard Strauss, and the scale of his own achievement.
