This new album conducted by Nicholas Collon continues Ondine’s award-winning series of orchestral works by Witold Lutosławski (1913–1994) in collaboration with the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra. The series has received several accolades, including a GRAMMY nomination, a BBC Music Magazine Awards nomination, and numerous ‘recording of the month’ awards and ‘best recording of the year’ nominations. This album includes the composer’s early hit, his folkloric masterpiece Concerto for Orchestra, which is one of his most frequently performed compositions. The album also features Partita for Violin and Orchestra, with Christian Tetzlaff as soloist, a virtuosic five-movement work that, in its orchestral version, is akin to a Violin Concerto. The rarity in the album is Lutosławski’s Novelette from 1979, which, although fragmentary, already hints at the ideas of his Third Symphony.
