By Krzysztof Penderecki, Maciej Tworek, Pawel Gusnar, Sergej Krylov, and The Polish Sinfonia Iuventus Orchestra. By Krzysztof Penderecki. Classical. CD. Dux Records #DUX1344. Published by Dux Records (NX.DUX1344).

Born in Debica on November 23, 1933, Krzysztof Penderecki studied composition with Artur Malawski and Stanislaw Wiechowicz at the State Higher School of Music in Krakow (1954-58). In 1959 three of his works won him the top prizes at the Young Composers' Competition of the Polish Composers' Union. A year later, he captured the attention of Western critics with Anaklasis, performed at the Donaueschingen Festival. Penderecki's international position was consolidated in the 1960s thanks to such pieces as Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima, the St. Luke Passion, and Dies irae. This release in the Polish Sinfonia luventus Orchestra's Penderecki series features his Concerto per viola ed orchestra (version for saxophone, 2015), and his Concerto per violin ed orchestra no. 2 Metamorphosen (1995).
