On Tuesday, October 26, 2010 Naxos released a recording of the last concert Witold Lutoslawski conducted. The event took place on October 24, 1993 as a part of Toronto's New Music Concerts. This concert features the trilogy
Partita,
Interlude and
Chain No. 2 for violin and orchestra. Fujiko Imajishi is the soloist on these tracks.
Chantefleurs et Chantefables as song cycle for soprano and orchestra is next on the recording sung by Valdine Anderson.
Chain No. 1 for fourteen performers finishes this concert.
This would be the last concert Lutoslawski would conduct as he would pass away almost four months later on February 7, 1994 at the age of 81. This recording was released almost seventeen years after the date of the event. This recording is New Music Forum's Pick of the Month for October 2010.
