| |  | Wieniawski & Szymanowski - Violin Concertos
Benjamin Schmid (violin) Wroclaw Philharmonic Orchestra “….this budget priced disc takes us from the romanticism of Wienawski’s Concerto 2 through Szymanowski’s
more powerfully expressive Second to Chain 2 ….Conductor and orchestra are scarcely known but Schmid’s
Lutoslawski gives the Mutter/composer version on DG a run for its money and the sweet-toned fiddle playing is
marvellous in the couplings.” Hi-Fi News, April 2008 | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

City of Birmingham Symphony Chorus & Orchestra, Sir Simon Rattle The music of the great Polish composer Karol Szymanowski (1882-1937) has, until recently, been relatively neglected. Sir Simon Rattle's recordings, gathered together here for the first time, brought it before a new and receptive audience.
This 4-CD set contains all the Szymanowski recordings that Sir Simon has made for EMI Classics. The collection contains some of the composer's best-known works: the two Violin Concertos, The Song of the Night, the beautiful Stabat Mater and the exquisite Love Songs of Hafiz. The set also contains Rattle's complete recording of the opera King Roger. | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
