Symphonie Nr. 3

Album by Henryk Mikołaj Górecki & Stefania Woytowicz & Ernest Bour & SWR Sinfonieorchester Baden‐Baden und Freiburg

Symphony No. 3 is the third symphony by Polish composer Henryk Górecki, completed in 1976. Musically it is characterised by slow tempi, spare orchestration and a prominent soprano line singing Polish lament texts, and it marks a shift in Górecki's output from earlier avant-garde techniques toward a more tonal, modal and consonant language that became a significant reference point in late 20th-century classical music.
First released: 1993
