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 had to look that up. I will not play that game.
No.
Once again, Poland sucks Russia's cock in something. Stravinsky and Shostakovitch FTW.
Wait, Poland had a 20th century?
Penderecki is great, IMO.

1940-1944, when under the able leadership of Hans Frank.

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:
