About

*** CD + Vinyl LP ***

One of Henryk Mikołaj Górecki’s most renowned and deeply moving works has now received a remarkable new recording. In June this year, the National Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Krzysztof Urbański, together with three soloists – Michał Sławecki (countertenor), Edyta Krzemień (soprano), and Anna Federowicz (soprano) – recorded the Symphony no.3 (Symphony of Sorrowful Songs). The album Górecki 3 has been released both on vinyl (LP) and compact disc (CD), marking a significant event on the musical and recording scene.

Krzysztof Urbański’s interpretation brings a fresh perspective to this three-movement masterpiece written for soprano solo and orchestra: “Three songs. Three women. Three voices. (…) To emphasize the authenticity of each story, I took an unconventional step: instead of entrusting all three movements to a single soprano, I invited three different singers. (…) Their presence allows each movement of the symphony to speak as a distinct human voice – profound and sincere.

“ Conducting this work is an experience unlike any other (…) something greater, something mystical”
the maestro admits. And he asks: “Let the music simply flow through you. Let this be a moment of contemplation, undisturbed by anything. Don’t just listen – feel.”
