Orchestral music by Zygmunt Noskowski.","description":"Although the music of Polish composer Zygmunt Noskowski (1846\u20131909) is less well known than that of his teacher (Stanis\u0142aw Moniuszko) and his students (Karol Szymanowski and Mieczys\u0142aw Kar\u0142owicz), Noskowski was nonetheless the primary exponent of modern symphonic music in Poland for most of the 19th 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\u2019s vast landscapes with colourful hints of Borodin's In the Steppes of Central Asia.
