alocispepraluger102 Posted September 12, 2009 Report Share Posted September 12, 2009 one of the things that i need to hear before i pass is a pipe organ (and vocal) arrangement of the symphony of sorrowful songs. how a vocalist could compete with a massive pipe organ would appear to present severe difficulties, however. i presume it is considered a neoclassical piece, so please forgive if offtopic.

randyhersom Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 Not off topic. I love the piece, fully aware that there are many scoffers. Neoclassical has also been used to describe Prokofiev and is indeed a subgenre firmly within Classical Music. Elitists flame away! However neoromantic seems more accurate than neoclassical for Gorecki's third. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carnivore Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 Wonderful, intensely moving work...for me anyway. I see no reason to invent a label or pigeon-hole for Gorecki - like Duke he's sui generis. Try the third string quartet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
