He conducts opera, and has received numerous prizes for his recordings, which now exceed 100 in number. From 2007 to 2015, he was Chief Conductor of the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra in Warsaw, and since 2006 he has held the position of Chief Guest Conductor of the Poznan Philharmonic.

A prolific recording artist, Borowicz’s recordings have been awarded four Diapason d’Or prizes. Symphonic recordings include the complete violin concertos of Grażyna Bacewicz (Chandos), the complete symphonic works of Andrzej Panufnik (CPO), and several titles for Hyperion. The final instalment of the Panufnik cycle was selected as Editor’s Choice in Gramophone magazine, and Borowicz received the ICMA Special Achievement Award in 2015 for his pioneering work on the project. In 2018 he received another ICMA award for his recording of Quo vadis by Feliks Nowowiejski. Borowicz’s collaboration with Piotr Beczała on the album Heart’s Delight: The Songs of Richard Tauber was met with wide critical and public acclaim.
