description
Andrzej Panufnik's fifth symphony, the Sinfonia di Sfere of 1975, is regarded by many as his symphonic masterpiece. For example, the Panufnik expert Christoph Schlüren writes as follows: »Challenging instrumental virtuosity, glistening dissonance formations in extreme registers, frenetically gripping intensifications, and low points ebbing away into nothingness are realized with the highest mastery in orchestral matters and contribute to an erratically moving dramaturgical whole. The Sinfonia di Sfere numbers among the milestones of an individual, nonconformist modernity in the second half of the twentieth century and merits comparison with outstanding orchestral works by composers such as Ligeti, Messiaen, and Vivier.« The Bassoon Concerto of 1985 has an especially moving story behind it: »When I began this work, I heard news of the torture and murder of the Catholic priest Popieluszko by the secret police. I immediately resolved to compose my Concerto in memory of his martyrdom.«
