Górecki: Symphony No. 3

One of Henryk Mikołaj Górecki's most famous and moving works has now been released in a remarkable new recording. In June this year, the National Philharmonic Orchestra, under the direction of Krzysztof Urbański and together with three soloists – Michał Sławecki (countertenor), Edyta Krzemień (soprano) and Anna Federowicz (soprano) – recorded Symphony No. 3 (Symphony of Sorrowful Songs). The album "Górecki 3" has been released on both vinyl (LP) and CD and marks a significant event in the music and recording scene. Krzysztof Urbański's interpretation brings a new perspective to this three-movement masterpiece for solo soprano 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. (...) Through their presence, each movement of the symphony can speak as an independent human voice – profound and sincere. Conducting this work is an experience like no other (...) something greater, something mystical", the maestro confesses.
