Sweeping Romanticism. Polish folk spirit. Orchestral music by Zygmunt Noskowski.

Although the music of Polish composer Zygmunt Noskowski (1846 – 1909) is less well known than that of his teacher (Stanisław Moniuszko) and his students (Karol Szymanowski and Mieczysław Karłowicz), Noskowski was nonetheless the primary exponent of modern symphonic music in Poland for most of the 19 th century; he also introduced the idea of the symphonic poem to colleagues who would follow in his footsteps. Raymond Bisha introduces a programme of his Third Symphony and the symphonic poem The Steppe, Op. 66 , which blends sweeping Romanticism with Polish folk spirit. The symphony is a journey through the seasons, while The Steppe evokes Poland's vast landscapes with colourful hints of Borodin's In the Steppes of Central Asia .
