Proms Composer of the Week: Szymanowski

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

With Adrian Thomas.
5: "The best melody I have ever managed to write." In the 1920s and 30s, Szymanowski moved towards the neoclassicism of Stravinsky, although his natural lyricism and warmth infuse the lean and sinewy textures of both the Stabat Mater and the second violin concerto.
Stabat Mater
Stefania Woytowicz (soprano), Krystyna Szczepanska (alto), Andrzej Hiolski (baritone), Warsaw National Philharmonic Choir and Orchestra, conductor Witold Rowicki
Violin Concerto No 2
Thomas Bowes (violin), Ulster Orchestra, conductor Takuo Yuasa Mazurka, Op 62 No 1 The Composer (piano)
Repeated next Friday 12 midnight
