Notes and Editorial Reviews
The resident chorale of Disney Hall, recognized as one of the world s premier choruses, pays tribute to the late mystic minimalist, Henryk Gorecki, composer of the best-selling Symphony of Sorrowful Songs.
The composer died on November 12, 2010, and this recording was driven by an urgent interest in preserving and appreciating his choral works.
