FYI

If you’re considering which version of Gorecki’s 3rd symphony you might want to buy, I wholeheartedly recommend the Naxos version, with the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra and soprano Zofia Kilanowicz. There’s a Dawn Upshaw performance that is pretty famous, but the above-linked version is stunning, heartbreaking, and gorgeous, and will only set you back 8 or 9 bucks.

I’m not really equipped at this hour to adequately describe how amazing this piece of music is, but the Amazon commenters pretty much nail it, so head there if you don’t know what I’m on about.
