This release includes the first performance of Stanisław Skrowaczewski’s composition Prelude, Fugue and Postlude for orchestra, Arthur Honegger’s Second Symphony for strings and trumpet (ad libitum) and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Requiem in D minor, K626, with a galaxy of outstanding soloists: Stefania Woytowicz (soprano), Krystyna Szczepańska (mezzo-soprano), Bogdan Paprocki (tenor) and Witold Pilewski (bass). We can also hear Ludwig van Beethoven’s Third Symphony in E flat major (‘Eroica’) and two works by Italian composers: Ennio Porrino’s symphonic poem Sardegna and Goffredo Petrassi’s Concerto per orchestra.
Thanks to these recordings, listeners will have the chance not only to sense the musical atmosphere of 1950s Warsaw, but also to familiarise themselves with Skrowaczewski ‘captured’ at an early stage in his artistic career, shortly after his great triumph in the Rome International Conducting Competition in 1956.
