1.Szymanowski: Stabat Mater; Litany to the Virgin Mary; Symphony No. 3 [Choral Works] from: EMI June 06, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £3.98
The 'Stabat Mater' and the 3rd Symphony 'The Song Of The Night' are two of the 'spookiest' works of Late Romanticism ever written, full of Slavic dread and uncertainty, (with the composer as ever looking to the mysticism of the East and not the West). We are here in the dark 'thrownness' of the Gnostic universe face to face with the cold mystical sublime except for the consoling final section of the 'Stabat Mater' and the 'Litany'. I regard the 'The Song Of The Night' as the composer's greatest work by far and one of the key works in the history of Romanticism, as important as any work on the same subject, which has been central in the Romantic tradition since Novalis. The quality of sound on this recording is stunning and the performance ... Read More:

3.Szymanowski/Webern: Works for String Quartet from: Denon March 01, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £6.99
These performances of Szymanowski's String Quartets and Webern's Langsamer Satz by Carmina Qt are hard to describe with words. The ensemble captures varying shade and light of Szymanowski's magical soundscape by vivid imagination and formidable technical refinement. There is a wondefully crafted performance of Langsamer Satz by Leipziger Qt (MDG), but this one surpasses it by the sheer beauty of tonal blend and the emotional depth and intensity. It doesn't surprise me that this disc received 1992 Gramophone Award in chamber music category and was nominated for Grammy award. Splended recording quality with ample presence and detail.

4.Szymanowski - Complete Piano Works from: Nimbus August 23, 2003

The piano music of Karol Szymanowski deserves to be as well known as that of Chopin, Liszt and Bartok. I choose these names with care, since, to my ear, I can hear the influence of all three. We could add Debussy and Scriabin for good measure, but what I do not want to do is imply that the composer's style is some pot pourri, a pick and mix of other's inspiration. Far from it. Karol Szymanowski was very much his own master and the piano music charts his development form post-Chopin to true revolutionary and experimentalist. But what is also worthy of comment is the playing of Martin Jones on these four discs. To maintain such quality of performance alongside such wonderful interpretation of this highly complex music is artistry indeed. ... Read More:
