Symphony no. 2 / Symphony no. 3 "Chant de la nuit"

Album by Karol Szymanowski & Detroit Symphony Orchestra & Antal Doráti

Symphony No. 2 and Symphony No. 3 are orchestral works by Polish composer Karol Szymanowski, composed in 1909–10 and 1914–16 respectively. They chart a move from late-Romantic richness toward early modernist harmonic language, characterised by vivid orchestration, modal and folk-inflected elements and an emphasis on atmosphere and colour that marks a key phase in the composer's artistic development.
