This next release in the Dux series devoted to Witold Lutosławski focuses on four works with strings as their emphasis and composed over a more than thirty year span: Little Suite for chamber orchestra (1950), Funeral Music for string orchestra (1958), Chain 1 for chamber orchestra (1983) and Chain 2 for violin and orchestra (1985). The 44-member Orchestra of the Opera at the Castle in Szczecin, led by Jerzy Wołosiuk, has made many foreign tours with opera and operetta shows across Europe. Its recording of Moniuszko’s Paria was awarded the Orphée d’Or of France’s l’Académie du Disque Lyrique.
