There was a standing ovation and several encores after this outstanding rendition of Sir Panufnik’s Violin Concerto by Janusz Wawrowski and Sinfonietta Cracovia conducted by Bassem Akiki. Agnieszka Lakner (the “Polska muza” magazine) and Iwona Karpińska (e-teatr.pl and der-neue-merker.eu) wrote enthusiastic reviews, calling Janusz Wawrowski the worthy successor of the great Yehudi Menuhin!
