In October 2025, Leoš Janáček’s Diary of One Who Disappeared orchestrated by Arthur Lavandier opened the Poznań Philharmonic’s 79th artistic season. It closes with the DUX-published album recorded during the concert, which has its premiere on 12 June 2026.
The Diary of One Who Disappeared is one of the most original cycles of songs. Besides the soloist and pianist, Janáček expands the ensemble by adding a mezzo-soprano and a female choir. As lyrics for the cycle, the composer used a series of short poems published by the Lidové nowiny on 14 May 1916. At the time, these were attributed to an “unknown country lad who falls in love with a Gypsy by the name of Zefka”. It was only eighty years later that the local writer and poet Ozef Kalda was named as the author of the mysterious poem.
Commissioned by the Opéra national du Rhin in Strasburg, the piece was orchestrated in 2022 by Arthur Lavandier. It was this version of The Diary of One Who Disappeared that was performed and recorded by the Poznań Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Łukasz Borowicz, and featuring excellent soloists: Petr Nekoranc (tenor) and Monika Jägerova (alto), Tomasz Sośniak (piano), and the female voices of Poznań Chamber Choir.
Besides information about the piece and the artists, the album booklet also contains song lyrics in Czech, as well as their Polish and English translations (by Jakub Pacześniak and Jan Sebastian Tomsa respectively).
Promotionally-priced copies of the newest album by Poznań Philharmonic Orchestra can be purchased at the stand of “Pasja” bookshop located in the hallway of University Auditorium prior to and during the interval of the Stars of World Stages concert which will be held on 12 June at 7:00 p.m.
In the coming weeks, the LP (vinyl) version of the album will also be available on the music market.
Poznań Philharmonic Orchestra with the Fryderyk Prize again! This time, the ensemble received the award for the album “Zygmunt Stojowski, Symphony in D minor op. 21” recorded under Łukasz Borowicz. Published by DUX, the album was recognised in the category “Album of the Year: Orchestral Music”.
Symphony in D minor, Op. 21 is Zygmunt Stojowski’s early work which brought its author staggering success at a composing competition staged by Ignacy Jan Paderewski at the Leipzig Gewandhaus. The piece won the first prize at the event, owing to which its score and piano reduction were released by the prestigious Peters Edition publishing house. The list of first performances is truly imposing: Berlin’s world premiere was followed by concerts in Leipzig, Paris, Krakow and New York. The work was also performed on 5 November 1901 at the formal concert to inaugurate operation of Warsaw Philharmonic Society: the newly-established orchestra was conducted by Emil Młynarski.
Over a century later, the piece returns in a new interpretation… only to reap coveted laurels again.
Furthermore, Fryderyk statuettes have gone to two other albums featuring Łukasz Borowicz: “Andrzej Panufnik, Universal Prayer” by Polski Narodowy Chór Młodzieżowy (Polish National Youth Choir) conducted by Agnieszka Franków-Żelazny and Łukasz Borowicz (in the category “Album of the Year: Choral Works”), and “Andre Tchaikovsky: Two Piano Concertos, Piano Sonata” with the pianist Peter Jablonski and Narodowa Orkiestra Symfoniczna Polskiego Radia (Polish Radio National Symphony Orchestra) conducted by Łukasz Borowicz (in the category “Most Outstanding Recording of Polish Music”).

Published by DUX, „Zygmunt Stojowski, Symphony in D minor op. 21” an album by Poznań Philharmonic Orchestra under Łukasz Borowicz, has been nominated for 2026 Fryderyk Prize in the “Album of the Year – Orchestral Music” category.
Zygmunt Stojowski’s early work, Symfonia in D minor brought the author staggering success at a composing competition held by Ignacy Jan Paderewski at the Leipzig Gewandhaus. The piece won the 1st Prize at the event, which resulted in the release of its score and piano reduction by the prestigious Peters Edition publishing house. The list of premiere performances is truly imposing: the world premiere in Berlin was followed by concerts in Leipzig, Paris, Krakow and New York. The work was also performed on 5 November 1901 at the formal concert to mark establishment of Warsaw Philharmonic Society – the newly-established orchestra was conducted by Emil Młynarski.
Now, interpreted by the Poznań ensemble led by Łukasz Borowicz, the piece returns in a bid to win the coveted Fryderyk statuette.
Two other records feat. Łukasz Borowicz as conductor have received three further nominations for the award: “Universal Prayer”, an album of Andrzej Panufnik’s choral works recorded by Polski Narodowy Chór Młodzieżowy (Polish National Youth Choir) conducted by Agnieszka Franków-Żelazny and Łukasz Borowicz in the “Album of the Year – Choral Works” category, and “Andre Tchaikovsky: Two Piano Concertos, Piano Sonata” with Peter Jablonski, piano, and Narodowa Orkiestra Symfoniczna Polskiego Radia (Polish Radio National Symphony Orchestra) in the “Album of the Year – Concert Music”, and “Most Outstanding Recording of Polish Music” categories.
Even though the album “Tansman / Bruch” recorded for Accentus by the illustrious violinist Viviane Hagner and Poznań Philharmonic Orchestra under Łukasz Borowicz, and featuring compositions by Alexandre Tansman and Max Bruch, premieres only today, it has already garnered its first accolade. PIZZICATO, the prestigious music magazine has just awarded it five of its “Notes”!
In the tellingly titled review “Tansman and Bruch, Lyricism and Virtuosity” published by the magazine, Remy Franck writes about the growing popularity of Tansman’s works on the recording market, underlines the lyricism and brilliance of both pieces contained on the album, and emphasizes the captivating delivery of Viviane Hagner, who gives us yet another proof of her incredibly creative interpretation skills, and who is excellently and very harmoniously accompanied by the Poznań philharmonic ensemble conducted by Łukasz Borowicz. Remy Franck also highlights the fact that while being full of tension and perfectly rendering both composers’ lyrical sensibilities and virtuoso verve, these outstanding interpretations accentuate the undeniably compelling quality of the album, whose yet another feature commanding praise is the quality of the sound.

Conducted by Łukasz Borowicz, on 27 March, Poznań Philharmonic Orchestra plays at the National Philharmonic in Warsaw as part of the 30th Ludwig van Beethoven Easter Festival. For years a regular performer at the event, this time, in collaboration with illustrious soloists, the ensemble presents La cambiale di matrimonio (The Bill of Marriage) by Gioacchino Rossini within the “Nieznane opery” (Unknown Operas) cycle.
And on the music market, the newest album by Poznań Philharmonic Orchestra, “Giovanni Simone Mayr, Verter” recorded at the concert during last year’s edition of the Beethoven Festival, has just hit the shelves.
“We discovered Giovanni Simone Mayr’s opera Verter at the Milan Conservatory, where it had been mistaken for over a century for a different work by the composer, Lubino e Carlotta. The manuscript, bearing Mayr’s autograph, reveals clear links to his Venetian period. Composed around 1796, Verter stands as the first true musical adaptation of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s Werther”, Luca Bianchini and Anna Trombetta, Italian musicologists who prepared and edited the score of the forgotten opera, write in the booklet of “Giovanni Simone Mayr, Verter“. And by performing (and recording) the piece at the 29th edition of Ludwig van Beethoven Easter Festival in Warsaw, the Poznań ensemble led by Łukasz Borowicz reintroduce the work to music lovers.
Besides Poznań Philharmonic Orchestra and Łukasz Borowicz, the concert performance of Mayr’s Verter featured soloists: Zuzanna Nalewajek (mezzo-soprano), Katarzyna Drelich (soprano), Krystian Adam Krzeszowiak (tenor), Krzysztof Lachman (tenor), Tomasz Kumięga (bass), and Nazar Mykulyak (bass).

The newest record by Poznań Philharmonic Orchestra has reached good music shops. Published by DUX, the ensemble’s “Zygmunt Stojowski, Symphony in D minor op. 21” recorded under Łukasz Borowicz has been released in CD and LP formats, and is also available on the publisher’s webpage www.dux.pl., as well as in streaming services.
Born in 1870, Zygmunt Stojowski belonged to a generation merely a dozen or so years older than artists of the Młoda Polska (Young Poland) movement. Piano virtuoso, friend of Ignacy Jan Paderewski, tireless champion of the cause of Poland regaining independence, Stojowski spent most of his life in the United States (he died in New York in 1946), where, side by side with his concert activity, he also developed a career in education.
One of his early works, Symphony in D minor, brought him the First Prize at a composer competition organised by Ignacy Jan Paderewski at the Gewandhaus in Leipzig. Following the piece’s staggering success, its score and piano reduction were released by the prestigious publishing house Peters Edition. The list of premiere performances is truly imposing: the first concert in Berlin was followed by events in Leipzig, Paris, Krakow and New York. The symphony was also performed at the ceremonious concert to inaugurate operation of the Warsaw Philharmonic Society on 5 November 1901 with the newly-established orchestra conducted by Emil Młynarski.
