Symphony No. 3, 'Symphony of sorrowful songs'

Composer: Henryk G贸recki
Performers: 大象传媒 Symphony Orchestra
Performer: Ruby Hughes (Soprano)
Conductor: Osmo V盲nsk盲
Date of broadcast: 04 September 2013

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. G贸recki'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.
