What an incredible contrast. Against a backdrop of man's inhumanity to man, this beautiful music. Represents the worst and best of mankind. Thanks for this beautiful and sobering posting.

A moving blend of music and video. The tragic fate of Warsaw at the hands of the Nazis is captured in this emotional collection of photographs. I salute those heroic Poles who stood up to the Nazis in 1943 and 1944. Their bravery is beyond belief.

I love the Polish People, they have suffered so long. Thank God they are free, God alone knows how they have suffered simply because of the location of their beautiful country.

This has been a favorite since the 50s when my mom gave me a 78 with it. I think it meant a lot to her since she lived in England and during the war was engaged to a Polish pilot that was lost in combat. Kinda glad she found my dad!! Thanks for posting. Andy K.

Great recording,

Det var 61 år sen jag hörde denna låt, som har följt mig genom alla år. Den är lika underbar nu som då, men man uppskattar det ännu mer när vet bakgrunden i historien.Jag är lycklig över detta.

I'm a self confessed greasy headbanger, but even I find this music so deeply moving.

I first heard this music on an album by 101 Strings Orchestra when I was a kid. My first love was the piano. I'm now 63 and it's just as beautiful as back then. thank you for this beautiful music.

Stunning performance of an old neglected favorite. Patrik Jablonski runs a close second to Louis Kentner who recorded the work on its first outing on an old Columbia 78. An all involving work where you need to be well ''all involved' which clearly this young man is.
