About

Three works that are very close to his heart were brought together by Mariss Jansons for this new CD release. Karol Szymanowski’s Third Symphony which, in addition to gigantic orchestral forces, also calls for a chorus and a tenor soloist, depicts a fantastic sound painting of an idealized Near East, including the setting of a 13th century Persian text.

Witold Lutosławski blends Slavic local colour into his 1954 Concerto for Orchestra, has a reference to Béla Bartók in the title, but it is marked by a musical approach all his own, one that reaches all the way into the avant-garde period despite its immediate accessibility.

Alexander Tchaikovsky, born in 1946, may be the namesake of a giant of the Russian romantic era, but they are not related to one another in any way. His Symphony No.4 is a musical appeal for peace. The work, written in 2005 on commission from Yuri Bashmet, comprises sound-painting choral passages and a significant solo part for the viola.
