Pierre Boulez honours singular Polish composer Karol Szymanowski by recording – live – the Violin Concerto no. 1 and the Symphony no. 3 “Song of the Night”. Violin virtuoso Christian Tetzlaff and the Wiener Philharmoniker are peerless participants. The two orchestral works are the high-water mark of Szymanowski’s impressionism, an idiom mingling the refined sonorities of Debussy, Ravel, and late Scriabin with the impassioned Romanticism of the New German School.
Inspired by Persian poet Rumi, Szymanowski subtitled his Symphony no. 3 “Song of the Night” after a poem by the 13th-century mystic. Emotional, even ecstatic music conveys the poem’s supernatural vision of night’s unravelling of the mystery of God Die Presse hailed Christian Tetzlaff’s playing of the Violin Concerto in 2009: “Concentrated, rapt, and yet dauntlessly assertive . . .”
