«One of the most devastating pieces of music composed. Henryk Gorecki's Symphony No. 3 is a powerful, prayer-like setting of instrumental and vocal music. While considered a modern composer, the work is firmly rooted in the tonal world, often creating a mantra/meditative feel. The 1976 composition is as emotional today, as it was in its own time.»
