Work: Symphony no. 4, ''Symphonie Concertante'', for piano and orchestra, Op.60

Szymanowksi’s thrilling Symphony no. 4 “Symphonie concertante” for piano and orchestra is the highlight of this Istanbul Music Festival programme from Sinfonia Varsovia and pianist Piotr Anderszewski. 

The first half of the 20th century must surely be one of the most richly creative periods in history. This was a time of great social and political change, spearheaded by two most devastating wars that saw death and destruction on a new level of cold efficiency.

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.
