Orchestral Works, Vol. 1: Symphony no. 3 / Threnody
Album by Krzysztof Penderecki & Narodowa Orkiestra Symfoniczna Polskiego Radia w Katowicach & Antoni Wit
This release pairs Krzysztof Penderecki’s Symphony No. 3 with Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima, juxtaposing his avant‑garde sonorism with his later, more tonal symphonic writing. The programme features large‑scale orchestral forces and intense string textures, with themes of remembrance and modernist exploration.
