Iwona Sobotka, Katarina Karnéus & Timothy Robinson City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra & City of Birmingham Symphony Chorus, Sir Simon Rattle Recorded 23–25 October 2002 (Harnasie, Hafiz tracks 15-18), 30 June 2004 (Hafiz tracks 19-22), 20 March 2006 (Fairytale Princess) at Symphony Hall, Birmingham The Times gave an ecstatic 5-star review for Rattle’s performances of Harnasie in 2002. It was subsequently recorded at Symphony Hall in Birmingham for this release:
“Simon Rattle’s return “home” for two concerts with the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra also means this time a hugely welcome return to the music of Karol Szymanowski ... Rattle delivered a performance of rapturous intensity that will not easily be forgotten … [He] excels in this kind of music, and here Szymanowski’s rich orchestral tapestry had everything from a sense of wild mystery to coruscating brilliance.”  BBC Music Magazine

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. |
