St Luke Passion

Album by Krzysztof Penderecki & Chór Filharmonii Narodowej & Narodowa Orkiestra Symfoniczna Polskiego Radia w Katowicach & Krzysztof Penderecki

St Luke Passion is a recording of Krzysztof Penderecki’s large‑scale sacred Passion, setting the Latin text of the Gospel according to Luke, performed by three vocal soloists, a speaker, mixed choir, boys’ choir, organ and orchestra. It belongs to the 20th‑century avant‑garde, blending sonoristic textures and serial techniques with traditional liturgical forms, and explores themes of suffering and redemption.
First released: 1990
