A Requiem to soothe troubled souls at NOSPR in Katowice

Marin Alsop conducts the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra in colorful repertoire including a concerto by Stanisław Skrowaczewski. 

The Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra, Alexander Liebreich and soloist Szymon Nehring serve up works by four Polish composers in celebration of the centenary of Poland regaining its national independence.

A stellar performance of Mahler’s cosmic Third symphony reinforces the reputation of Katowice as a bone fide member of the premier European music league.

The all-Polish roster of Krystian Zimerman and the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra displayed consummate artistry in a tenebrous programme of Lutosławski and Brahms.

What a concert – the programme and the musicans were sublime. This time, Colston Hall got it spot on with the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra. Seeing all of the credits for the orchestra in the back of the programme prepared me for a big and bold sound that was just short of 100 musicians. Each and every one of them contributed to a fantastic sound under the baton of Jacek Kaspszyk.

Dans un concert qui est allé crescendo, l’Orchestre symphonique national de la radio polonaise et sa cheffe Marin Alsop ont mis en lumière leur répertoire dans la capitale européenne.
