It is astonishing and highly regrettable that Karlowicz`s "rebirth" Symphony - one of the finest works in Polish symphonic music - remains almost unknown. I would not hesitate to claim that, in terms of structural cohesion and logic, as well as its Karlowicz`s Symphony is superior to Szymanowski`s symphonies..... Not included in the programmes of symphony concerts and recordings sessions, the "Rebirth" Symphony is still waiting for its due place in the world pantheon of the finest works in the 20th-century repertoire.
