Szymanowski, Simon Rattle - Stabat Mater / Litany To The Virgin Mary / Symphony No. 3 "Song Of The Night" flac album

The Stabat Mater and Litany to the Virgin Mary are more austere works, as their subject matter requires, with reflective moments of a cappella choral singing and delicately accompanied vocal solos, but they inhabit the same harmonic landscape as the Third Symphony. While the symphony is characterized by an almost erotically charged ecstasy, the passions that these pieces voice are expressions of intense grief or profound religious devotion. The confidence and vitality of this recording testifies to the performers' familiarity and fluency with this music

Szymanowski: Symphony No. 3 'The Song of the Night', Op. 27. Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra & Choir. The follow-up to their Grammy-winning album Penderecki conducts Penderecki. The new album by the Warsaw Philharmonic features music by eminent Polish composer Karol Szymanowski. His Litany to the Virgin Mary, Stabat Mater and Song of the Night were written between 1914 and 1933, which is considered to have been the most fruitful period in his creative life. Stabat Mater, completed in 1926, was officially commissioned from Szymanowski by the Polish art collector Bronisław Krystall to commemorate his wife’s death. The work was inspired, however, by a tragic event that affected Szymanowski’s family. Szymanowski’s Stabat Mater holds a special place in the history of Polish music after Chopin.

Symphony No. 3 Op. 27 (. The Song of the Night) is a symphony composed by Karol Szymanowski during the period 1914 - 1916 after a period spent travelling in Eastern Europe. The symphony is considered to be one of Szymanowski's finest works. The symphony is a musical setting of a poem by the 13th-century Persian mystic Jalal ud-Din Rumi translated by Polish poet and friend of composer Tadeusz Miciński, supposed to celebrate the exceptional beauty of the Eastern night.

Szymanowski: Stabat Mater/Litany To the Virgin Mary/Symphony 'Song of the Night'. Like the rest of Rattle's EMI discography, the sonics on this recording are downright excellent. This is a really, really fine disc. One other Karol Szymanowski piece that I recommend you seek out is the 1st violin concerto, an earlier work in a more romantic style. It's beautiful, and actually similar in style to the 3rd symphony. 3 people found this helpful. The choral and orchestral contributions are surely peerless, The eight minute Litany to the Virgin Mary was one of the composer's last works. At the time Szymanowski's style had evolved into a more brittle kind of neo-classicism, but in this works he clearly draws upon the atmospheric qualities of his mid-period works such as the Stabat Mater. 3, op. 27 "The Song of the Night": I.

Album title: Szymanowski. Composer(s): Szymanowski. Works: Stabat Mater; Litany to the Virgin Mary; Symphony No. 3 (The Song of the Night). The disc opens intimately, though, with the Litany to the Virgin Mary, from the early 1930s and the last phase of Szymanowski’s creative life. Despite being essentially unfinished, the two-movement cantata for soprano, female chorus and orchestra became a favourite work of the composer, and its devotional quality is captured in the limpid purity of Aleksandra Kurzak’s singing, who puts aside her operatic persona. Kurzak shines, too, in the last movement of the Stabat Mater (1926), in what the composer rightly felt to be one of his most beautiful melodies
