This episode is dedicated exclusively to Polish classical music, presenting 20th and 21st-century compositions in exceptional archival and contemporary recordings. The program features Wiesław Cienciała’s Amherst Music performed by Anna Rattenbury with the New Music Orchestra under Szymon Bywalec, selections from Zygmunt Mycielski’s Six Preludes for piano by Maciej Piszek, and a movement from Feliks Nowowiejski’s Symphony No. 2 by the Poznań Philharmonic under Łukasz Borowicz. The survey of contemporary repertoire concludes with Paweł Mykietyn’s Eine kleine Herbstmusik performed by Ensemble Alternance under Diego Masson, and Katarzyna Szwed’s Coś jak babie lato rendered by the Österreichisches Ensemble für Neue Musik under Arturo Tamayo.
