Penderecki, Dvořák
Sinfonia Varsovia, Krzysztof Penderecki
The Penderecki is the standout performance, with well-controlled playing by Sinfonia Varsovia. The Dvorak occasionally requires more clarity.

March 2018
[The Symphony] is an overtly tonal work, coming after the crunchy chord clusters of his avant-garde First Symphony. There’s a late 19th-century richness and neo-Romantic language to the writing, brooding and densely scored…the Varsovia brass [are] on particularly impressive form…The choice of coupling is rather odd…but Penderecki offers a sprightly reading with plenty of pep.
