Poznan Philharmonic Orchestra & Łukasz Borowicz - Grzegorz Fitelberg: Symphony in E minor, Op.16 (2023) [24/96]

Symphony in E-minor, Op. 16 by Grzegorz Fitelberg is the latest world phonographic premiere by Poznań Philharmonic Orchestra. Recorded on 6 October 2023 during a concert at A. Mickiewicz University Auditorium, recording of the piece conducted by Łukasz Borowicz.

This is what Łukasz Borowicz writes about Grzegorz Fitelberg and his symphony:

“Grzegorz Fitelberg was a person of many parts: an illustrious conductor, tireless promoter of his contemporaries’ art, and one of the pillars of the Młoda Polska, or Young Poland movement in music. (…) Written in 1904, Symphony in E minor, op. 16 premiered at the Warsaw Philharmonic in 1907. For decades, however, the piece was to languish in obscurity. (…) [its] modern-day record premiere closes an undeniably serious gap in Polish phonography. It is also a reminder that Fitelberg’s piece constitutes a very important link in the process of development of Polish symphonic music; together with early works by Mieczysław Karłowicz and Karol Szymanowski, it provides a meaningful contribution to its overall picture.”
