Szymonik Lukaszewski Borkowski Nalecz-Niesiolowski - Very Best of Lukaszewski - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

After having split in 1976, Manifesto was the come back album and a tour that sold out most venues. Filmed before a packed house in Manchester's Apollo Theatre, Roxy Music played a magical concert that had the fans on their feet throughout! The concert features four of the original band members, Bryan Ferry, Phil Manzanera, Andy Mackay and Paul Thompson.

Karol Szymanowski was, after Chopin, probably the first Polish artist whose name was internationally linked to a modern and innovative musical language, but also to a free relation to the heritage of the European culture. At the same time, he also remains a thoroughly Polish composer who showed the world the beauty of the Podhale and Kurpie traditions, among others. The most known and most characteristic pieces by Szymanowski, in excellent interpretations, will help each listener to get a better insight into the phenomenon of the composer's work. This is an overview of Szymanowski's best work, performed by some of the finest Polish musicians including the Warsaw Chamber Orchestra, the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra in Katowice, The Silesian Philharmonic Orchestra, and others.
