Excerpt:Piano Quartet No. 1 in G minor I. Allegro
Music of impressive energy and momentum. 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).
