Like many Polish composers, he is known there, but not abroad. Not every country does a good job to promote its artists abroad.

I've been looking for this piece for decades.... AND FINALLY!!!

Astounding music. I had never heard of this composer. The contrast from dark to light and the deeply melodic statements one minute Mahler , next Rimsky and Strauss. Fascinating sound . I am deeply moved and plan on hearing more.

Karlowitz was killed by an avalanche in the Tatras mountains while he was still young (1876-1909). So, we have a few scores from him. They exhibit a postromantic character without track of expressionism - expressionism is not his character; the postromantism prevails definitely, especially in orchestration and in the mood of themes and cells, as well as in harmony. Keeping the sense of proportions, he could have been some kind of Polish Mahler, without expressionist features. This symphony is gorgeous, extremely beautiful. . He also wrote a splendid concerto for violin, some tone poems and lighter but excellent music as a serenade for strings. The Polish music stands firmly in the XXth century with composers such as Szymanowski; Lutoslawski, Penderecki and some others. It is a pity that a gifted composer in postromantic style was killed so young. This "rebirth symphony" is an outstanding masterwork in that style. It is his larger and most ambitious work by the discipline and the invention that a symphony demands. It is also his longest score, to my knowledge. This symphony is full of splendid idaes, it is indeed an awesome composition. Karlowitz has most times metaphysical titles like "rebirth". This sound a bit Mahlerian and a bit Scriabinian. It would be interesting to find a study about the metaphysical vision of the author.. I could never find it. This is obviously linked to the spiritualist movement which prevailed in the mind of many intellectals at that time. I imagine that Karlowicz had a precise viion in mind. We lose something in understanding this symphony when we do not have this metaphysical key. When hearing this music, like in the cases of Mahler and Scriabin, we have the obscure feeling that it vehicles a hidden message. NOTE; A simple proof of the ignorance about Karlowitz: it is impossible to get any score of him on IMSLP, which is full of scores of composers without any interest.

It's an old tradition: new/refreshing Polish art movements tended to turn to Tatra landscape and Tatra (Górale) culture (and Szymanowski is a model example). Bohdan Mazurek (a sound engineer and a composer, one of the hosts in the Polish Radio Experimental Studio) was also very keen on the Tatra climbing and was close to death few times during it. Tatra Mountains are actually rather dangerous :D

Wonderful music, great composer! What a huge loss for mankind as he died very young

I had never heard of this amazing composer before. The standing ovation the audience gave at the end went forever. Thanks so much for sharing this amazing piece with the rest of us. it was like hearing Mahler, Elgar, Tchaikowski, and even Bernstein (3rd movement) all at once.

Symphonies need to be able to pay their bills. They can attract some audience by playing the well-known repetoire. They can get grants and attract attention with doing premieres of new works. It's very difficult to sell 100 year old pieces by unfamiliar composers. That's why KZread is great to help people find pieces like this.

True-up until the middle of the 19th century a lot o' the music was rather predictable to the late 20th/early 21st century ears,then it gradually became more interesting coz it was less predictable and more unusual-while there was still enough undiscovered ways of comin' up with beauty. So you had the best of both worlds just in that little window of the mid-19th to mid-20th centuries.But by about the middle of the 20th century all the genuinely beautiful and moving ways of stringing a bunch of notes together had been pretty much exhausted,and so compositions generally became more and more weird and incomprehensible,just coz all the appealing ideas were already in some earlier masterpiece. So novelty has been elevated to a level beyond its true value in warming the cockles of the human heart-soon it'll be all that's left to strive for. But that's the way of everything-things ain't limitless,including beautiful ideas in music. All the beauteous ways of combining sound have now been pretty much sucked dry-but not completely, coz even during the last 50-70 years an occasional gem containing new ideas WHICH ARE ALSO GENUINELY MOVIN' & BEAUTIFUL, will emerge from the forest of stuff rivetting not for any great tear-jerking qualities,but for their ability to perplex to the max(and this is often taken to be a sign of incredible genius,with people falling over each other to be the one to laud its extraordinary vision and profundity the loudest-before heading to their stereo to put on Elgar's Symphony No.1 or Rachyboy's Piano Concerto No. 3!).

Perhaps you are grasping when you thro in Wagner. Yrs ago, people would hail Meyerbeer as Wagner's master. Listen to them today: Meyerbeer is weak, lacks full vitality, & you call tell who the true genius is...

As was written about Hesiod: if only all his poetry was written like this, he would have surpassed Homer. If only.....

Karlowicz was born in the North-West of what today is Belarus, but was considered Lithuania in his time. He was well aware of this mixed indentity of the country, and was inspired by local music, notably in his Lithuanian rhapsody (1906). Pity that he is forgotten in the country of his birth even more than elsewhere. In his music he definitely anticipated the endless series of terrible catastrophies awaiting this poor land - two world wars and Soviet occupation that, in fact, is lasting until now. Sad greeting from (fascist) Belarus, or, rather, for Karlowicz, from Eastern Lithuania
