Chopin: Piano Concerto No. 1 - Dvorák: Symphony No. 8

This new release from Dux features one of the most successful Polish young orchestras, The Santander Orchestra. The Santander Orchestra is the first ever edition of an educational project for young musicians in Poland- students and graduates of music educational centers. Sixty-four musicians forming the orchestra were chosen in a competition for which nearly 150 people applied. By taking part in the project, young artists from each and every corner of Poland have an opportunity to develop their technique under the eye of outstanding conductors and tutors. The ensemble presents on this new release Fryderyk Chopin’s Piano Concerto in E minor, Op. 11 with Krzysztof Ksiazek as featured soloist, and Antonin Dvorak’s Symphony No. 8 in G minor, Op. 88. The ensemble is under the direction of Jose Maria Florencio.
