Wojciech Kilar, a renowned Polish composer, presents a profound and evocative musical journey with his album "September Symphony / Lament." Released on May 1, 2010, under the CD Accord label, this album spans 54 minutes of captivating compositions that showcase Kilar's mastery of orchestral and emotional expression.

Largo," "II. Allegro," "III. Largo," and "IV. Moderato"—offers a rich tapestry of orchestral colors and dynamics. Each movement brings its own character, from the solemn and reflective "Largo" sections to the lively and energetic "Allegro."
