Much less familiar than the famous Dawn Upshaw recording, this is in many ways even better than that superb recording. Here the orchestra is recorded to better and fuller effect, with the basses and cellos given wonderful prominence particularly in the First Movement. Joanna Kozlowska gives a heart-rending performance. For anyone who wants their appetite for this important work whetted anew, I strongly recommend this. Perhaps it is the pure Polishness of the performers -- one feels this is the whole tragic 20th century history of Poland being unfolded before one. Quite marvellous.

This is a dark and sombre symphony but don't let that put you off. If ever a piece of music was guaranteed to make the hairs on the back of your neck stand on end, this is it. You can feel the pain in Gorecki's music and Kozlowska's voice simply soars. An essential CD for your collection.

This is a moving and cleanly recorded performance. Koslowska has a more vibrant and emotive voice than the more familiar and rather over-played 'Clasic FM' version. She beautifully conveys more of the pain and feeling that lie behind the piece. These are 'Sorrowful Songs', and complete serenity, after all, may not be what most people associate with holocaust. The Warsaw Philharmonic too have obvious reasons to put their heart into this powerful music. This is a haunting recording.

Very good
Excellent music. As this is the only recording I think, it's difficult to make any comparisons.
