In Reply to: Szymanowski, anyone............... posted by Chuck Y on April 20, 2012 at 10:42:25:
sound is merely OK though. The other enduring Szy works are King Roger, (Rattle)--if the opening doesn't move you, with its stylized religious pomp--I don't know what would; The 3rd Symphony (Rattle again), the "Symphony" #4 for piano and orchestra and the Choral Stabat Mater. The obscure orchestral songs are steamy hot too, but not very well recorded, (on Koch I believe).
Glad you got bit.
