Zygmunt Noskowski: Chant d'Amour video

Although he studied for a time in Berlin, the Polish composer Zygmunt Noskowski (1846-1909) spent most of his musical life in Warsaw, and composed in most genres (including one of the first Polish symphonic poems). I have been unable to identify the opus number of this piece - which I found in an album. It sounds oddly contemporary, perhaps because of the harmonic echoes of 'Puff the Magic Dragon' and 'Edelweiss'. The harp-like arpeggiated chords are reminiscent of 'Il sogno di Doretta' from Puccini's 'La Rondine'. --------------------------------------- Played by Phillip Sear www.psear.co.uk
