With its use of folk melodies to generate tremendous momentum and dramatic impact, the Concerto for Orchestra (1954) established Witold Lutosławski (1913-1994) as Poland's leading composer and an international force in concert music. Here it is coupled with another blazing showpiece: Johannes Brahms's Piano Quartet in G minor arranged for full orchestra by Arnold Schoenberg (1937).
"This new entry to the catalogue shines out with its precision, vigour and clarity of sound...Schoenberg's orchestrations of Brahms always merit revisiting, not least because the odd alliance of these two contrasting composers is always so unexpected...A seriously interesting and worthwhile disc." (The Guardian)
