Just wondering if anyone here knows/likes Polish composers, such as Szymanowski, Paderewski or Penderecki. I have been giving Szymanowski a try recently - he requires some getting used to, but he is brilliant, imo.

The only Polish classical music I know is Chopin.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I had to look that up.  I will not play that game.

Once again, Poland sucks Russia's cock in something.  Stravinsky and Shostakovitch FTW.

Wait, Poland had a 20th century?
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

Have you tried Szymanowski? His King Roger is imo absolutely delicious. It's a Byzantine-Sicilian "remake" of the myth of Dionysios.

He put the polish on the Polish?

Isn't Gorecki Polish?

The only Eastern European 20th century composers I really listen to are Stravinsky, Shostakovich and Part.

Knowing that, recommend me a Pole :mellow:
