Charming and worth investigating.

Classic FM Magazine

Gianandrea Noseda brings the same level off devotion to this unfamiliar music as did Yan Pascal Tortelier in Vol 1 (CHAN 9986), with the BBC Philharmonic, as so often, giving the impression that is has been playing it all its life. The strings shine in the Serenade while the brass come to the fore in the more grandiose passages of the Symphony.

The Telegraph

Chandos first CD of orchestral music by Mieczyslaw Karolwicz, the great hope of the Young Poland movement who died in 1909 aged only 32, was one of my favourite discs of 2002. For this follow-up, Gianandrea Noseda takes over from Yan Pascal Tortelier, and the repertoire comes from earlier in Karlowiczs short career' A worthy successor to the first release - and there must be at least another discs worth to come

BBC Music Magazine Disc of the Month

'Mieczyslaw Karlowicz is served like a kind by the Chandos engineers for this second volume of orchestral works. Nodesda makes a dedicated successor to Tortelier, conductor for the first volume. He draws some intense playing from the excellent Manchester orchestra, especially in long-drawn, quieter passages, and the Romance from the string Serenade, where the composer evokes Mahler, Grieg, Tchaikovsky, Dvorák, Elgar, and a variety of Nordic composers, but with a calm confidence all his own.'

Fanfare (USA)

Hes [Karlowicz] best known for his symphonic poems, but Noseda gives the premiere recording of Karlowiczs only symphony, an early programmatic work that is a masterly synthesis of Richard Strauss and Tchaikovsky (think of the Fifth). The fillers are both even earlier - and equally well caught.
