This album marks the conclusion of the first-ever complete recording of Grażyna Bacewicz’s symphonic works, performed by the WDR Sinfonieorchester. The collection highlights her stylistic evolution, shaped by personal and historical events in 20th-century Poland. This volume includes Symphony No. 1, a world premiere recording, along with the Polish Overture, Partita for Orchestra, and the innovative Concerto for Large Symphony Orchestra, among others. These works demonstrate Bacewicz's unique fusion of neoclassicism with folkloric elements and her later exploration of avant-garde sonorism.
