About
Five works by Koffler are presented here as world premiere recordings. For the first time ever some of his brilliant symphonic music can be heard on CD: his Piano Concerto and his 2nd Symphony, in which he produced an original synthesis of neoclassicism and dodecaphony. In conjunction with the series Poland Abroad, eda records pays its respects with this third production in its en hommage series to a great Polish composer who became a victim of the Nazi terror, and whose outstanding works await rediscovery to the present day.

Awards and reviews
2nd March 2018
None of the pieces on this important tribute album has been recorded before, and each bears witness to an imaginative artist caught up in turbulent times and changing political regimes...And the performances do him proud...Christoph Slowinski and the Polish Sinfonia Iuventus Orchestra clearly relish Koffler’s fast-changing tone colours and quick-footed wit.
