In Nuits Blanches: Airs d’opéra à la cour de Russie au XVIIIe siècle, on ATMA Classique, Karina Gauvin, and the Pacific Baroque Orchestra under conductor Alexander Weimann, spread the next a little wider and explore Italian operas by the Russian composers Dmitri Stepanovitch Bortnianski, Evestignei Ipatievitch Fomins and Maxime Sozontovitch Berezovski, plus music by Domenico Dall'Oglio and Christoph Willibald Gluck [Released 1 […]

Conductor and composer who was inspired by Anton BrucknerThe benevolent spirit of Anton Bruckner hovered over the life and career of the conductor and composer Stanisław Skrowaczewski, who has died aged 93, from childhood until performances last year. It was while walking in the streets of his native Lwów, in Poland (now Lviv, Ukraine), at the age of seven that he heard the strains of the Adagio of Bruckner’s Seventh Symphony emanating from an open window.“I was in a trance,” the transfixed child later recalled. “I was in heaven – the world didn’t exist for me.” In his 20s, as music director of the Silesian State Philharmonic of Katowice (1949–54), he programmed Bruckner every season. In Minneapolis, where he enjoyed a 56-year relationship with the Minnesota Orchestra (formerly known as the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra), first as music director, latterly as conductor laureate, his regular performances of Bruckner symphonies drew criticism […]

Skrowaczewski conducted major orchestras in England, Japan and other countries. His last concerts were with the Minnesota Orchestra in October 2016, conducting works by Anton Bruckner, his specialty.Skrowaczewski was born in Lwów (then in Poland, now in Ukraine). As a child, he studied piano and violin; displaying talent on the piano at an early age, he made his public debut playing Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 3 in C minor. A hand injury ended his piano career. After World War II, Skrowaczewski graduated from the Academy of Music in Kraków (in the composition class of Roman Palester and conducting class of Walerian Bierdiajew) and soon, in 1946, became the music director of the Wrocław Philharmonic, then the Katowice Philharmonic, the Kraków Philharmonic and finally the Warsaw National Orchestra. He studied composition with Nadia Boulanger in Paris. In 1956 he won the Santa Cecilia Competition for Conductors. At the invitation […]
