  • Minute 3:00 is truly amazing, I love this piece.

  • This is one of my favorite Penderecki pieces, if not my all-time favorite of his. I highly recommend the version by the Polish Radio Symphony Orchestra with Siegfried Palm performing the solo part. It has way more energy than this version, and Palm really brings out the tension of the solo part and seems to be in closer touch with the accompanying orchestra, especially at the ascending run beginning at 4:30. Palm simply explodes where Noras seems to fizzle...

  • If you ever meet someone who says: I like classical music, but I tend to only I like it when its dark and brooding, and in a minor key, discordant, or mercurial. You can pretty much guarantee Penderecki is the best suggestion.

    Krzystof is to 'Discordanct Minor Key' in the way Wet is to Water.

  • @Serialiste Yes. Don't even listen to the piece if you can't hear that version. absolutely stunning.

  • Grande Músico. Esse clima é um sinistro agradável fantástico. Genial

  • It hurts.

  • Ale czaaad ! Aż mnie ciary przechodzą !

  • WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING?!?!?!

  • It's like mahler 9 exploded into everything john williams ever wrote and then rostropovich came by on acid and he was like

    HOLY SHIT

    and just did the craziest shit he could think of

  • i mean, i listen to this now, but if that were to happen to me i'd be able to listen to this, only.

  • this is the kind of music i would only be able to listen to if i were a soldier who served a tour of duty in which i had to kill people, live in the constant fear of being killed, see the mutilated bodies of dead children and people, live a life of mundane repetition, and then at the end of it all become either batshit insane, or almost catatonically apathetic.
