Salve, Sidus Polonorum Op. 72, Amen Op. 35
National Youth Choir of Great Britain / Mike Brewer
The massed voices of the National Youth Choir of Great Britain are ideally suited to the choral music of Górecki; music of a monumental radiance which demands a huge and rich sonority. Alongside the ever-popular 'Totus Tuus', this resplendent recording also contains two recent works here receiving their premieres on disc – the luminous 'Lobgesang' and the thrillingly massive 'Salve Sidus Polonorum', for choir, organ, two pianos and percussion.
This disc traces his choral music from his 1972 setting of Psalms 126 & 95 'Euntes Ibant Et Flebant' through to his 'Lobgesang' (Song of Praise), written in 2000. Henryk Mikolaj Górecki (1933-2010) made his reputation as a leader of the Polish avant-garde in the 1950s. Inspired by folk and religious influences, the emotional power and clarity of his music has attracted a wide public following. He became know as one of the 'holy minimalists', along with John Taverner and Arvo Pärt, after his Symphony No.3 'Symphony of Sorrowful Songs' featuring Dawn Upshaw, was played by Classic FM.
PRAISE FOR NYCGB:
"An outstanding disc which emphasises how fortunate the NYCGB is to have Brewer’s drive and energy. Rejoice!"
Gramophone, February 2012
"essential for choral fans." The Observer, December 2011
"as always, the National Youth Choir of Great Britain doesn’t let him down. The singing is technically strong and totally
uninhibited, the soloists gifted... If you need a feel-good factor, this is it."
Choir and Organ, July/August 2010
