FOCUS: New CD from Polish violinist Janusz Wawrowski

Its title - "Phoenix" - refers to the concerto by Polish composer Ludomir Różycki (1883-1953), which, believed to have been lost in World War II, has risen like a phoenix from the ashes.

Janusz Wawrowski talks about the extraordinary history of the concerto and its reconstruction, and a 1685 Stradivarius, the first Stradivarius to have come into Polish ownership since WWII, on which he has performed since 2018.
