Noskowski / Deutsche Staatsphilharmonie Rheinland- Symphonies Nos. 1 & 2 Elegiac
Although he had famous students (i.e. Szymanowski) and teachers (Moniuszko), few listeners know much, if anything, about Zygmunt Noskowski (1846-1909). And yet, for most of the 19th century, he was the primary exponent of modern symphonic music in Poland. As a conductor and concert organizer, he had himself championed the causes of forgotten Polish composers. Now it is Antoni Wit, Noskowski's successor at the helm of the Warsaw Philharmonic at a distance of 94, who helps out his late-romantic colleague - just as he has already done with the music Zygmunt Stojowski on a previous Capriccio recording (C5464).
Tracklist:
- I. Moderato Misterioso [10:01]
- II. Scherzo: Vivace [08:10]
- III. Elegia: Andante [08:59]
- IV. Finale: Per Aspera Ad Astra: Poco Adagio - Allegro Assai - Ivace
- I. Allegro Molto [13:05]
- II. Adagio Cantabile [11:15]
- III. Vivace [09:43]
- IV. Finale: Allegro Con Fuoco [10:51]
