'... an exceptionally worthwhile release.'

Penderecki: Piano Concerto 'Resurrection'; Flute Concerto. © 2013 Naxos Rights US Inc

Krzysztof Penderecki was heavily influenced by Berg and Boulez. After the success of his Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima he was, for a time in the 1960s, one of the most performed avant-garde composers. Threnody includes aleatory passages, microtonality, dissonance and unusual violin effects. What more could the academic community ask?..
