Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
During his early career, Górecki embraced serialism and concentrated on instrumental sonorities in the vein of Messiaen. But in his now famous Third Symphony, his atonality disappears into a strategy of gently mounting thematic pitches, taking the strings through all possible registers. All three movements are marked lento, rare for any symphony. The bestselling Nonesuch recording with Dawn Upshaw is the best-known version of this work, but give this Naxos release a try--it's just as good. The sound is excellent and the performances are above reproach. --Paul Cook

From Amazon.com
The current Schwann catalog lists nine versions of Gòrecki's phenomenally popular Symphony 3 (Sorrowful Songs) composed in 1976. During his early career, Gòrecki embraced serialism and concentrated on instrumental sonorities in the vein of Messiaen. But in Symphony 3, his atonality disappears into a strategy of gently mounting thematic pitches, taking the strings through all possible registers. All three movements are marked lento, rare for any symphony. The Elektra Nonesuch recording has tended to be the bestseller, but give this Naxos release a try--it's just as good. The sound is excellent and the performances are above reproach. --Paul Cook
