Henryk Górecki - Symphony No. 3, Op. 36 (“Symphony of Sorrowful Songs”)
# Performer: Dawn Upshaw
# Orchestra: London Sinfonietta
# Conductor: David Zinman
# Composer: Henryk Gorecki
This album, which catapulted Polish composer Henryk Gorecki to into the international spotlight, takes texts born in pain and turns them into statements of affirmation through the use of music that ebbs and flows in mystic minimalism. The clear voice of soprano Dawn Upshaw, singing the Polish texts, is a large part of the success of this particular recording, but the music, contemporary without either dissonance or movie-music mawkishness, clarifies and uplifts the words. This is a moving and essential element of the modern repertoire.
