Stanislaw Skrowaczewski retains a unique position on the international musical scene, where he is both a renowned conductor and a highly regarded composer, especially of large-scale orchestral works.
Across his nineteen-year tenure, Skrowaczewski amassed a discography with the Minnesotans that included works of Bartók and Penderecki, along with the complete orchestral music of Ravel; his Grammy Award-nominated Bruckner Ninth with the Minnesota Orchestra was recorded in his role as conductor laureate, which he has held since leaving his directorship in 1979.
Although Skrowaczewski was principal conductor of the Hallé Orchestra in Manchester, England, from 1984 to 1991, and has never lightened his guest-conducting schedule, he has managed to be a consistently productive composer.

In their company is Stanislaw Skrowaczewski, Conductor Laureate of the Minnesota Orchestra (he was their leader after Antal Dorati, when they were still the Minneapolis Symphony).
It is the latter for whom Skrowaczewski wrote the Concerto Nicolò, premiered in 2003 with the Curtis Institute of Music Symphony Orchestra (Graffman is director of the school) and who joins the composer/conductor in Minneapolis for the recording.
Rather than writing variations, like most of the others, Skrowaczewski uses only the opening segment of Paganini's melody: we hear it from time to time being passed about among the piano and other solo instruments, but for the most part it is inverted and otherwise tossed about in the manner of a fantasia.

Faced with the Ninth Symphony, we are but listeners in the hands of an angry composer.
Bruckner has no greater champion than Stanislaw Skrowaczewski, whose direction of the Minnesota Orchestra on this disc brings out a raw energy from the ensemble, which is usually kept on a tighter leash.
And audiophiles will appreciate the usual Reference Recording wizardry that makes you feel like you're sitting in the orchestra, or perhaps suspended by your toenails above it.
