Phoenix' could be subtitled 'Hidden Concerto'. It pairs violin concertos by Tchaikovsky and the 20th century Polish composer Ludomir Rózycki. While the Tchaikovsky has long been one of the world's favourite violin concertos, the Rózycki - an opulent post-Romantic work conceived during the traumatic Warsaw Uprising of 1944 - was never performed in the composer's lifetime. Wawrowski premiered it in its current form as recently as 2018. For years, the elements of the score lay buried in a suitcase in the garden of Rózycki's deserted and ruined house in Warsaw.
