'At home in Poland I was blessed to have lived a wonderful, free-wheeling life under the benign watch of both the Nazis and Communists, though, sadly, my intended solo piano career was halted in an accidental bombing raid, and so I turned to composing and conducting.
Later, after I accepted the conducting post at the Halle, a kindly colleague suggested that taking the short train trip to Edgeley Park to watch the amazing Stockport County FC was one of life's truly memorable experiences, right up there with the pure, unalloyed joy of performing Mahler or Brahms.
My goodness, how right he was! Standing almost alone behind the away goal on those delightfully soggy terraces, the famously cooling Mancunian drizzle omnipresent, and observing the ball soaring past my head on numerous occasions was an unique experience and certainly one which I'll never, ever forget.
Stuff Bruckner ... '
Stanisław Skrowaczewski
