CD:
Capuçon, Liebreich, NOSPR – Szymanowski and Lutoslawski
Accentus Music completes its CD trilogy with works by Szymanowski and Lutoslawski with Alexander Liebreich and the NOSPR, featuring Gautier Capuçon.
Under the direction of its Chief Conductor Alexander Liebreich, the National Symphony Orchestra of Polish Radio (NOSPR) is the leading ensemble in Poland and one of Europe’s major radio orchestras. As cultural ambassadors with a rich tradition, the orchestra has made its mark through performances of Polish composers. Next to the ecstatic Concert Overture in E major, Op. 12, an early work by Szymanowski, the NOSPR performs Lutoslawski's contemplative and yet excessive 4th Symphony, a work that the composer finished shortly before his death in 1994. Gautier Capuçon, one of the leading cellists of his generation, is the impressive soloist in the Concerto for Cello and Orchestra, which is without a doubt Lutoslawski’s most famous work.
