Naďve's spacious, solid recording boasts a wide dynamic range (especially on SACD), making it the best sounding of the three versions under consideration. Altinoglu's disc also includes Górecki's 1969 Canticum Graduum, a rather gnarly work that generates orchestral sonorities so abrasive they sound like amplifier distortion (even though the composer employs strictly acoustic instruments). It's interesting--and somewhat unpleasant, definitely not a deciding factor. [1/4/2006]
