Portishead singer Beth Gibbons performs Henryk Górecki's Symphony No. 3, Symphony of Sorrowful Songs, with the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra under Krzysztof Penderecki.
Beth Gibbons brings her haunting, deeply expressive voice to one of the most moving works of the 20th century, a remarkable crossover performance.
Recorded live in Warsaw in 2014, conducted by fellow Polish composer Krzysztof Penderecki, Gibbons learned to sing the work's Polish texts for this rare and celebrated performance.
The three slow movements build from hushed, layered strings into profound, luminous laments, and Gibbons's tender, unadorned voice gives the music a striking new intimacy.
Beth Gibbons with a full orchestra. Haunting, in the best possible way.
