Karol Szymanowski: Song of the Night
May 5th, 2011 by gcunniff
“Szymanowski’s unique brand of expressive, lyric modernism has found many admirers in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Though his earliest music is perhaps too closely allied to that of his childhood idol Chopin to fully stand on its own, his later work synthesizes the stylistic characteristics of a wide range of composers into a highly individual new language, which seems likely to bear the test of time better than many such experiments in eclecticism.” –All Music Guide
