Loveliness in the lines of sorrow
Rating  (4)
Date: 2006-05-09
Gorecki's Third Symphony is a work of great beauty, and such plangent sorrow that it speaks directly to the heart. This recording is a beautiful one, and has much to say for itself. The wonderful Susan Gritton is an outstanding soprano, and sings very beautifully here.
This recording is not, however, the best version available of the work. For that, I refer readers to the Naxos recording, in which everything combines to make a performance of such sweet and terrible sorrow that no listener could possibly remain unmoved.
I own this recording of the Gorecki, and also the Yvonne Kenny recording, the Dawn Upshaw recording and another with a soprano whose name I cannot recall. No matter - this is a lovely second recording to have, but there's no doubt about the best version at all.
