5.0 out of 5 stars A Contemporary Classic of Profound Significance, 25 Nov 2003
By R. C. Ross (Birmingham) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is tremendous performance of a momentous composition. Penerecki’s St Luke Passion is a vast work in a contemporary style that seems to be enduring well the test of time. It makes a profound impact on the listener. Leaving a sense of wonder, hope and thankfulness for the momentous events it describes and expounds.

Like the great Passions of Bach, Penderecki follows the moments of human salvation culminating in the death of Christ as recorded in the Gospels. And like Bach, Penderecki pauses along the way to contemplate and meditate upon the Gospel texts. For these meditations he uses passages from the Old Testament (the Psalms and Jeremiah) and the Church’s Liturgy. From our Lord’s the agony in the Garden of Gethsemene we are taken through the events of his betrayal by Judas, his arrest, trial, mocking and crucifixion.

Penderecki generates moments of genuine amazement and wonder (e.g. sections 1, 2, 20), dread and horror (the crowd’s enmity and mockings), and the absolute confidence of faith in this strange work of the God of Truth (e.g. sections 22, 23, 24).

Penderecki uses a dark-toned voiced narrator as the Evangelist, an original and very effective idea (on this recording Krzysztof Kolberger is very fine, more animated but with a little less gravitas than his colleague in Henryk Czyz’s pioneering Cracow Philharmonia recording).

Antoni Wit, student of both Penderecki and Czyz, conducts an altogether superb performance! (Though ‘performance’ seems not the right word for an event that is almost sacramental in its purpose and effect.) The demands made on the choir and soloists call for enormous reserves of flexibility and dramatic power. Their singing (and muttering, shouting and hissing!) is spine-chilling at times. The Warsaw National Philharmonic Orchestra play with palpable commitment. The percussion, brass and deep strings produce a shocking impact. Penderecki orchestrates with remarkable imagination and skill. No previous recorded performance has served Penerecki’s hugely demanding score so well. Wit is intimately familiar with this music. His reading is characterised by a versatility of rhythmical impact and articulation that allows the music to speak with more cohesion than is usually the case. He also generates overwhelming impact at crucial moments. The recording is exemplary for clarity, depth and atmosphere. Climaxes register with terrifying impact, with moments of whispering stillness also fully focused (e.g. the natural acoustic reverberations of ‘crucifige’ (crucify) at the end of part one).

This has been a long-anticipated release. It is a remarkable triumph for all concerned. At less than a fiver it’s also embarrassingly cheap!

5.0 out of 5 stars An Inexpensive Way To Crack a Tough Nut, 30 Jun 2005
By NNNNN "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" (xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
The St.Luke Passion was the work that brought Penderecki to audiences outside of Poland in the 1960's. Across Europe and the U.S. it received numerous performances to packed halls. What is suprising is that its very modern and mostly atonal musical language was the type of thing that usually drove audiences from the halls back then. There was a something there though that gripped audiences and held them. I suspect what that something is varies from listener to listener. There is no doubt that this is a tough nut to crack but it is worth the effort. Naxos have now provided the listener with an inexpensive way to do that with this new (2002) recording.
Antoni Wit has been an avid conductor of Penderecki's music from the begining of his career. Its twists and turns and its often thick scoring hold no terrors for him. The textures are clear and a sure sense of how this work should move is ever apparent. He is aided by a fine quartet of singers as well as the Warsaw Philharmonic and Chorus for whom this work is second nature. If ever an orchestra could be called a "Penderecki Orchestra" it is them.
