It's just possible that Koch-Schwann have two versions of the symphony
in their list with Woytowicz as soloist but without having checked the
Amazon site, I think you'll find it's conducted by Kazimierz Kord and is
a different version from the one Aaron Rabushka mentioned.  I bought it
when it was the only CD version available.

I accidentally transposed a couple of digits in the number when I
ordered it and that's why I also serendipitously own a Koch CD containing
Schreker's Chamber Symphony.  It's a better work than the Gorecki any day.
