From a politically thawing Poland of 1976 comes this solemn, heart-wrenching work commemorating loss and suffering. The texts are grim: tales of murdered children and grieving mothers. Górecki's music for orchestra and soprano is dark, painful and beautiful. Millions have heard it on recordings as well as part of soundtracks for films such as Terrence Malick's 'The Tree of Life' and 'Fearless', staring Jeff Bridges.
