With recent draconian rulings, you may be tempted to not program composers who are awesome. In case you are still looking for music by composers who are awesome, may I suggest investigating our new search tool for chamber music? Have fun making good trouble!

Grażyna Bacewicz was born in Łódź on this day in 1909. Sakari Oramo's recording of her Third and Fourth symphonies is even finer than the one by Łukasz Borowicz I reviewed a couple of years ago. A superb album.
