Henryk Górecki - Symphony Nº3 (Symphony of Sorrowful Songs) - Full Piece

[1KickTheBaby1]

I think it's what Jane Stadler at WMNR 98.3FM1 CT Operations sited as "Gorecki: Symphony # 3 from an Elektra Nonesuch CD, # 979282." It sounds like the version they played on their station last Friday at the 3:00 hour.

Esta pieza la escuche en el juego call of duty es una gran obra melancolica...

One of the most magnificent pieces of music I've ever heard. The first time I heard it I bought the cd the same day! It's just stunning. Thank you so much for posting the complete symphony.

Thank you so much for posting this. I absolutely love the "Rec 3," pardon the pun. I don't think a more moving piece of music has ever been written. It brings me to tears every time. Have you by any chance heard the recording on the Naxos label?

[ItsVikkiEveryone]

stunning! love every minute of it!

[jennad868]

Thank you SO much for posting this in its entirety. It's such an amazing example of truly great composition.

Everytime I listen to this my heart breaks down. It's just too profound.

The sound of my heart singing......and crying...

[ThreePieceSuite05]

You know....I'd never even heard the name "Górecki" until I'd listened to Lamb's song by the same title. I'm so glad I did a little research into it and found this masterful piece of music. Thank you so very much for posting it.

Friends, this is the original recording of sorrowful songs and the only one worth listening to. It was recorded in Poland in 1976 by the Polish Symfonia . The conductor is Anton Wit and the soprano is not Yawn upshore and away, .The voice yr hearing is that of the sublime Zofia Kilanowicz . Avoid all imitations please.

[robertdonkers]

@missjulitha Stefania Wojtowitch is another sublime Polish singer, I think she recorded it before Kilanowicz.

[JovKickers]

@missjulitha Your comment is about as tasteless as whoever is singing this recording.

[Cedarosaurus]

Oh my God. That first movement is the most aching and soulful thing I have ever heard.

[Jimmytuba08]

This is gorgeous...why have I never heard of this composer before?

[galegakale]

noble music.

[SuperStartrekfan]

This is the most amazing performance I have ever heard. If's so beautiful!!! and this is coming from somebody who never tears up. :`)

[Fazikhr]

definitely dawn upshaw

[Chevre2012]

superb

[jacobdakrn]

Can you tell me which version this is? I mean who played it.

@jacobdakrn

Sorry but unfortunately i don´t have that information, i tried to find out...

[erasmusherzen]

@jacobdakrn I'm pretty sure it's David Zinman's 1991 recording, with Dawn Upshaw on solo soprano. It's one of the best selling classical music recordings of all time.

[knollik]

@erasmusherzen bad! the best is zofia kilanowicz version Upshaw version is very bad

[AntonioUras]

@jacobdakrn

I'm almost sure it is the 1991 recording by David Zinman conducting the London Sinfonietta, featuring Dawn Upshaw as soloist. Probably the best recording available!

[trooubermensch]

@jacobdakrn It is the one made in 1992, Conductor: David Zinman, Orchestra: London Simphonietta, Soprano: Dawn Upshaw.

[baronaccio1]

@jacobdakrn Dawn Upshaw, soprano. London Sinfonietta. David Zinman, conductor

[SubcheckForum]

@jacobdakrn I know the Soloist for the first movement has the name Gene Upshaw

[hdgehog66]

the second movement kills me... I cannot hear it - at any point - without tearing up. This is brilliant...

[python7275]

@hdgehog66

it is truly a very touching piece, with an heavy emotional content, sublime... thanks for the comment

[newFranzFerencLiszt]
