This is in fact London Symphony Orchestra Premiere Recording ( 2010) of Faust Fantasy by Henryk Wieniawski. London Symphony Orchestra is the oldest orchestra in England and was founded in 1904.
Warsaw National Philharmonic was founded in 1901 so Wieniawski did not have a cjance to perform there.
Warsaw historical building on Jasna street was bombed by Germans in 1939 even thought white flag was on the building because many civilians run inside for shelter.
Their were as many as on Titanic. but Luftwaffe bombed anyway destroying priceless collection of instruments and memorabilia like letters Rachmaninoff, Ravel, Czajkowski,Mlynarski, Rubinstein, Kochanski, Strawinski ,Kusewicki etc not to mention human lives. Building survived however to be detonated in 1944 with entire Warsaw by chef of Gestapo in occupied by Germans Warsaw-SS Ludwig Hahn .
