A significant part of the activity of the Witold Lutoslawski Plock Symphony Orchestra is focused on the greatest achievements of Polish music, constantly expanding its participation in its concert programme. In 2021, the Plock Symphony Orchestra registered as many as two CDs promoting works of Polish composers. This album, presenting the music of 19th- and 20th-century composers, features compositions relatively well known to the public, such as Witold Lutoslawski’s Little Suite for chamber orchestra or Dance Preludes, but also allows us to discover the famous Etude in B-flat Minor, Op. 4 No. 3 by Karol Szymanowski from a completely different perspective in the orchestral transcription of Grzegorz Fitelberg or much less frequently performed works by Ignacy Jan Paderewski, Stefan Kisielewski and Grazyna Bacewicz. The Plock Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Maestro Marek Wroniszewski perfectly carries out its main goal, introducing the audience to important pages from the history of Polish music.
