Szymanowski is always superb...
He is superb here, yes. But not always! If you look over his entire catalogue of works, you will find a few where he has missed the mark. This is true of all great composers. Not a single one has ever achieved a body of work that is free of at least one or two inferior works. He is not always superb. He was a human being after all!
One place that comes to mind where he is not superb (and this may be a matter of my taste) is in the otherwise beautiful slow movement of the op. 9 violin sonata: suddenly, and pointlessly too, Szymanowski has a quick trio section: the new music does nothing whatsoever to the structure except interrupt the beautiful content, disrupting the flow as it were, and the contrast is not convincing.
the performance was superlative.
Who's playing?
I love no.2 and 3 but these performances are really bad..
