Although Szymanowski later dubbed his First Symphony a
contrapuntal-harmonic-orchestral monster and disavowed the
influence of Wagner, Reger and Richard Strauss (also evident
in the opulent Concert Overture), it is an astonishingly
powerful work by a composer only in his mid-20s and still
enthralls a century after its premiere. He described his
Fourth Symphony as nearly a concerto owing to the pianos
prominent role, its highly-charged Neo-baroque character
inviting comparison with Stravinsky. Szymanowskis Symphonies
Nos. 2 and 3 gained Gramophone Editors Choice and 5 STARS for
these deliriously sensual scores from ClassicFM
