Recorded at Grzegorz Fitelberg Concert Hall, 2000. Picture : Scene from Vertigo, Alfred Hitchcock, 1958. Completed in 1976, Violin Concerto No. 1 marks a breakthrough in Krzysztof Pendereckis development. It was written in a highly significant period in the history of Polish music. At least two other works of the Generation 1933 premiered in the mid1970s Góreckis Symphony of Sorrowful Songs and Kilars Kościelec 1909 heralded a radical change of thinking, a departure from the avantgarde and a return to neoRomantic types of expression, to melody and the euphony of sound. Penderecki stressed in an interview with Jakub Haufa that in his Concerto the stylistic change resulted from the purpose of the composition. It was written for violinist Isaac Stern, a representative of the socalled Russia
