Violin Concerto No. 2 "Metamorphosen"
Album by Krzysztof Penderecki & Anne‐Sophie Mutter & London Symphony Orchestra
Violin Concerto No. 2 'Metamorphosen' is the second violin concerto by Polish composer Krzysztof Penderecki, composed in 1995. The composition employs late-20th-century modernist textures and extended violin techniques alongside more overtly lyrical, metamorphic thematic transformations, and it reflects Penderecki's later-period movement toward a reconciliation of avant-garde sonorities with more traditional harmonic and melodic elements.
