A¢er returning to Poland in December 1981 to spend Christmas with his family, martial law was suddenly imposed and Śmietana was denied the right to leave for London and told his studies there had concluded. Fortunately, a friend helped him return to London where he subsequently expressed his outrage and sorrow, protesting against the regime in Poland during the „Medical Support for Poland” concert. Back in Great Britain, his artistry was quickly realised. He was invited to perform in the most prestigious halls and appeared on BBC Radio 3 with the highest appreciation in many critics’ reviews. roughout many of these concerts Śmietana had brought to light concertos by Szymanowski and Panufnik, was guest concertmaster of orchestras such as the LSO – PROMS at the Royal Albert Hall are examples of his abundant successes. e family from whom he rented a room were so full of admiration for his artistic endeavours that they made a beautiful 18th Century Neapolitan violin available for Śmietana.
