Dobrzynski is not well known outside his native Poland, but there was a time when he vied for attention in Warsaw's musical circles with his near-contemporary Chopin. The Polish Radio Symphony Orchestra with pianist Emilian Madey performs the early Piano Concerto, Symphony No. 2, and the Overture to Monbar, which Dobrzynski considered his masterpiece.
