Live, Video: Kritiken zu klassischen Konzerten, Opern, Ballett und Tanz finden | Symphonie Nr. 3 „Symphony of Sorrowful Songs”, Op.36

In einem rein polnischen Konzertprogramm begeisterte Dirigent Krzysztof Urbański die Hörer auch mit wenig bekannten modernen Werken.

House debutants, soprano Nicole Chevalier and conductor Lidiya Yankovskaya, excel in Isabella Bywater's Górecki staging to close English National Opera's season.

Elizabeth Atherton sang with a keening intensity, and gave a voice to every grieving mother and child.

The highlight of a week-long musical project of the Szczecin Philharmonic entitled We are at home, a celebratory performance of Górecki's Symphony No. 3 by Szczecin Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Wojciech Michniewski.

On this Montréal concert, visiting conductor Cristian Măcelaru presented Copland’s Fanfare for the Common Man and Gorecki’s Symphony of Sorrowful Songs to mark the 70th anniversary of World War II

Southbank Centre's The Rest is Noise festival continued its focus on politics and spirituality with Henryck Górecki's popular Third Symphony, coupled with Krzysztof Penderecki's lesser-known Violin Concerto – but it was the latter work which fared better.

For years now, Henryk Górecki’s Third Symphony has been at the head of my bucket list of works to hear in concert – and this Prom with the BBC Symphony Orchestra and conductor Osmo Vänskä gave me the chance.
