No Boundaries

Alberto Ginastera, Ernesto Lecuona, ...

RCA, 2006

An enjoyable CD
I would have to say that I was absolutely amazed with this CD. I'm usually not the type of person who would listen to classical music, but I thoroughly loved it. I love playing it in the car on the way to class; it gets me relaxed. Buy 'No Boundaries'!! You will not ...

Lutoslawski: Concerto for Orchestra; Three Poems; Mi-Parti

Witold Lutoslawski, Antoni Wit, ...

Naxos, 1998

A good recording of 'Concerto', and the best 'Mi-Parti' available
We must thank Naxos and Wit for their committed efforts in recording 20th century Polish music, especially of their continuing series of Lutoslawski's complete orchestral works. Lutoslawski is one of the most innovative composers of the mid-late 20th century, and ...

Witold Lutoslawski, Antoni Wit, ...

Naxos, 1996

Superb 'Funeral Music' and breathtaking Fourth Symphony
This disc would serve as a wonderful introduction to the music of this late Polish master to those who have yet to be delighted by his music. The disc begins with his haunting, elegiac 'Funeral Music,' scored for strings only, with a solo cello mournfully playing its ...

Piano Music of Salonen, Stucky & Lutoslawski

Witold Lutoslawski, Esa-Pekka Salonen, ...

Telarc, 2008

Brilliant program of surprising delights
As far as I know[I do not have the booklet] this is the first recording of the Lutoslawski Piano Sonata. And what a debut it is!!! Its style might be considered like late Prokofiev's sonata's[a mix of the eight and nine] mixed in with an unexpected[for Luto] lyricism ...

Karolju: Christmas Music from Rouse, Lutoslawski & Rodrigo

Witold Lutoslawski, Joaquin Rodrigo, ...

RCA, 2007

Sparklingly original traditional music
I was privileged to hear the world premier of Karolju in 1991 and for years replayed it from a tape I recorded from a radio rebroadcast. I am delighted that Karolju has been recorded and is now commercially available; it deserves a wide audience. Karolju is a series ...

Lutoslawski: Twenty Polish Christmas Carols; Lacrimosa; Five Songs

Olga Pasichnyk, Witold Lutoslawski, ...

Naxos, 2005

Marvelous!
Marvelous production on all fronts. The carols themselves are the heart and soul of the Polish religous and Christmas spirit. The arrangements recast traditional and beloved kolendy in modern adaptations, reflecting Lutoslawski's ample skills as vocal and orchestral ...

Lutoslawski: Orchestral Works, Vol. 8 - Double Concerto; Dances Preludes; Chain I

Rafal Kwiatowski, Zbigniew Kaleta, ...

Naxos, 2003

Appealing Music in Both of Lutoslawski's Styles
The title refers to Witold Lutoslawski's differing styles contained on the CD. He started as a fairly conservative composer--e.g. his Concerto for Orchestra, Paganini Variations for Two Pianos--but then became more and more radical as time went on. What is amazing is ...

The Essential Lutoslawski

Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, Heinrich Schiff, ...

Philips, 2000

best introduction to a modern master, a superb compilation
Lutoslawski's music sounds to me like an early modern sensibility moving to incorporate more recent techniques. The two earliest pieces here are both superb -- "Concerto for Orchestra" (better than the Bartok piece by the same name!) and "Dance Preludes" from the ...

Witold Lutoslawski: String Quartet (1964) - Kronos Quartet

Witold Lutoslawski, Hank Dutt, ...

Nonesuch, 1991

An extraordinary experience.
I had the unspeakable privilege of meeting Mr Lutoslawski in the year 1981, and it remains for me a memory that I will treasure always. He was a little man, very dapper and neat, and he had an impeccable English accent. I met him in the bar in the basement of St Johns ...

Sony, 1994

Music for our time...and for all time
Witold Lutoslawski is by now assured a repertoire staple, in many ways thanks to the commitment of Esa-Pekka Salonen and the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Of the many giants of 20th Century music few were as introspective and compelled to discover a mode of expressing the ...
