Malawski 1904-1957
"Having sustained an injury to his left hand, Artur Malawski had to abandon his career as a virtuoso violinist and went on to become a successful teacher and composer in his native Poland. The Symphonic Études of 1947 brought him international recognition with its unorthodox design and powerful expression. The Overture shares something of his younger contemporary Lutoslawski's resourcefulness, while the Toccata shows a similar adventurousness of spirit. The manuscript of Mountaineers' Triptych has not survived complete – it is heard here in a realisation by Kazimierz Wilkomirski."



"Heinrich Marschner's role as Germany's leading Romantic operatic composer in the generation between Weber and Wagner has tended to draw attention away from his accomplished chamber compositions. Marschner had a high regard for the piano trio genre, composing seven throughout his career, which won the admiration of his friends Robert and Clara Schumann."

With a great concern for musical authenticity, Gilles Colliard's desire is above all not to distort the composer's intention.

As Dvorak might have said
kecy

Yikes! Ew!

The original Urtext version of that symphony, as premiered (?) by Urbanski on Alpha, is quite good indeed. But a 2.0 with synth and electric strings...

Nine discs of oboe music.

Oh, the Abendroth set looks tempting ! What's on it ? I have the 10-cd set on Profil, with its mix of good, okay and poor sound recordings. Hopefully Eterna's masterings are better.
