Henryk Górecki: Symphony No. 4, Op. 85 (Tansman Episodes)
- Shrink-wrapped
Nonesuch Records releases the late Henryk GÃ³reckiâ€™s final composition, Symphony No. 4, Tansman Episodes, on January 22, 2016. The recording was made during the 2014 world premiere performance at Royal Festival Hall with co-commissioner London Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Andrey Boreyko. The piece, which pays homage to GÃ³reckiâ€™s fellow Polish composer Alexsander Tansman, was incomplete at the time of GÃ³reckiâ€™s 2010 death and thus missed its previously scheduled premiere. However the score had precise indications for orchestration, which GÃ³reckiâ€™s son Mikolaj, also a composer, used to complete it. The Daily Telegraph said the piece "caps GÃ³recki's reputation as an orchestral composer, but it also contains some surprises. The music â€¦ features some brutal juxtapositions of massively powerful music with slow, intimate passages for solo instruments, including prominent parts for piano and organ."

Symphony No. 4 will be released individually and as part of Henryk GÃ³recki: A Nonesuch Retrospective, a seven-disc box set containing all Nonesuch recordings of GÃ³recki worksâ€”Lerchenmusik; Symphony No. 3; String Quartets Nos. 1, 2, and 3; Miserere; Kleines Requiem fÃ¼r eine Polka; Harpsichord Concerto; and Good Night. The first vinyl LP of the beloved 1992 Nonesuch recording of GÃ³reckiâ€™s Symphony No. 3 also will be released on January 22.

Symphony No. 4 received its US premiere in January of this year, by co-commissioner Los Angeles Philharmonic, and was performed in February by the Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra at the Concertgebouw (which is home to the pieceâ€™s third co-commissioner, the ZaterdagMatinee concert series). This recording was supported by the Adam Mickiewicz Institute as part of the Polska Music program.
