Although he left the merest handful of compositions at his seemingly accidental death in an avalanche while skiing, Mieczyslaw Karlowicz ranks among the most important Polish composers of his generation. The final years of his brief career were taken up by a series of six symphonic poems, the third, fourth and sixth of which are included on this first disc of these works. Alternating between fervent affirmation and brooding melancholy, these impressive late-romantic works are notable for their colourful and imaginative orchestration and fresh and original harmony.
Reviews
FonoForum 01/09: "Hoppla! Bereits die ersten Takte lassen einem die Ohren neugierig aufgehen. Denn die drei Sinfonischen Dichtungen Mieczyslaw Karlowicz (1876- 1909) verblüffen durch ihre handwerkliche und musikdramatische Meisterschaft. Den Tonfall dieses originellen OEuvres mag man irgendwo zwischen Richard Strauss, dem frühen Szymanowski und gelegentlich auch Sibelius ansiedeln. Das Orchester aus Warschau hat hörbar beste Spiellaune und nimmt sich sowohl der kraftvoll aufblühenden Gesten wie auch der mitunter fahlen Innigkeit der Partituren mit größtem Engagement an."-
