Andrzej Panufnik - Fantasia

Features the world premiere recording of the recently rediscovered Fantasia by Andrzej Panufnik, with the Filharmonia Poznańska and Łukasz Borowicz.

Andrzej Panufnik's Fantasia was initially conceived as the first movement of his piano concerto and performed in that format by the CBSO in 1962. Panufnik immediately withdrew the movement, intending to rewrite it as a standalone work. It lay in the archives for over 60 years before receiving its Polish premiere in November 2024 with Clare Hammond, the Filharmonia Poznańska and Łukasz Borowicz.

This album was released by RecArt in December 2024 and is available to stream online. It also features Panufnik's Nocturne for orchestra.
