Not many know that a symphony which went on to sell a million records had its first performance in October 1976 in a church in Bielsko-BiaÅ‚a, with the composer conducting.

Next week, the symphony will be reprised by Bielsko-BiaÅ‚a Festival Orchestra, conducted by Jan StaÅ„czyk, the composer’s grandson, who is making his podium debut.
