Hit: 5 Stars
Penderecki has always been a master of expressing horror through music. There is no finer example of this than this compilation of pieces. Some of the selections are popular for their use as the score in "The Shining", such as "De Natura Sonoris No. I and II" and "The Dream of Jacob". However, apart from their inclusion in that fantastic film, each of the pieces hold their own. Almost all of Penderecki's work is autobiographical in a way, and relate to certain historical events, such as "Threnody", which is included on this CD. For lovers of avant-garde, surreal, and experimental music, this is a must have.
Penderecki: Anaklasis; Threnody; etc. Poster
This collection of Krysztof Penderecki's music encompasses one of New Music's most intense, even extreme pieces: Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima. Played in the extreme registers by 52 string performers, this piece came off in every way as a careening lamentation. Decrying the bombing of Hiroshima at a time when it was still a historical blue ribbon on the war chest of the U.S., Threnody was unforgettable for its vast ranges of sound colors, from the quietest and most brittle to the most raging, swirling bruises imaginable. UNESCO officially selected the composition as one of the finest works of 1961, emblazoning Penderecki's name and the composition's flagrant intensity around the musical globe. The remaining pieces on the CD make this a stunning collection, much of it having functioned as the musical background for The Shining. --Andrew BartlettClassical Music CDs
