鈥淭o be completely honest, I compose, because I find it pleasurable鈥� said Grazyna Bacewicz, and her Fourth Symphony is like a bolt of electricity: energetic, atmospheric, and utterly original. It鈥檚 a gripping contrast to the fragrant ecstasies of Szymanowski鈥檚 鈥楽ong of the Night鈥�, a symphony like no other from a composer who worshipped sensuality and sunlight.
For Sakari Oramo, though, these two great Polish symphonies are natural companions 鈥� and both make an unforgettable impression. He鈥檚 placing them both alongside the timeless beauty of one of Mozart鈥檚 most personal masterpieces 鈥� the magnificent Sinfonia Concertante, played today by two former 大象传媒 New Generation Artists who just happen to be two of the most charismatic string players of our time. This is music that demands no less.
