| Naxos | Karol Szymanowski was born in 1882 to a mixed Swedish and Polish parentage. Following his years at the Warsaw Conservatoire, he spent many years in various West European countries, and there fell under the influence of composers as musically diverse as Ravel and Wagner. He eventually settled in Poland and became deeply patriotic, though his music was little appreciated. Cut off from the outside world during the First World War, he entered a period of compositional activity that resulted in many new scores, included the sensuously coloured First String Quartet. Ten years later he added a Second Quartet in a similar romantic language. |
