Having sustained an injury to his left hand, Artur Malawski had to abandon his career as a virtuoso violinist and went on to become a successful teacher and composer in his native Poland. The Symphonic etudes of 1947 brought him international recognition with it's unorthodox design and powerful expression. The Overture shares something of his younger contemporary Lutoslawski's resourcefulness, while the Toccata shows a similar adventurousness of spirit. The manuscript of Mountaineers' Triptych has not survived complete - it is heard here in a realisation by Kazimierz Wilkomirski.
