A Polish Requiem / The Dream of Jacob

Album by Krzysztof Penderecki & Kungliga Filharmoniska kören & Kungliga Filharmonikerna & Krzysztof Penderecki

This release couples Krzysztof Penderecki’s A Polish Requiem, a large-scale sacred choral‑orchestral setting of the Latin Requiem that memorialises figures and events from Polish history, with The Dream of Jacob, an orchestral work inspired by the biblical vision of Jacob’s ladder. It sits within late‑20th‑century contemporary classical music, spanning liturgical and commemorative themes.
