About This Item
Although he had famous students (i.e. Szymanowski) and teachers (Moniuszko), few listeners know much, if anything, about Zygmunt Noskowski (1846-1909). And yet, for most of the 19th century, he was the primary exponent of modern symphonic music in Poland. As a conductor and concert organizer, he had himself championed the causes of forgotten Polish composers. Now it is Antoni Wit, Noskowski's successor at the helm of the Warsaw Philharmonic at a distance of 94, who helps out his late-romantic colleague - just as he has already done with the music Zygmunt Stojowski on a previous Capriccio recording (C5464).
