Sinfonia Varsovia
The Sinfonia Varsovia is an orchestra and a musical institution based in Warsaw, Poland. It was founded in 1984 by Yehudi Menuhin, Waldemar Dąbrowski and Franciszek Wybrańczyk,[1] as a successor to the Polish Chamber Orchestra.[2] From 2003 until his death in 2020, the orchestra was led by Krzysztof Penderecki as its artistic director.[1]
Menuhin had a close relationship with the orchestra that he helped to found, conducting them in the recording of a full cycle of Schubert's symphonies released in 1998.[2] This followed a cycle of live performances of Beethoven's symphonies in 1994. The cycle was recorded and commercially released.[3] Other conductors to have worked with the orchestra include Claudio Abbado, Charles Dutoit, Jerzy Maksymiuk, Marc Minkowski, Valery Gergiev and Lorin Maazel.[4]
