Henryk Górecki: Symphony No. 4, Op. 85 (Tansman Episodes)

This homage to Polish composer Alexsander Tansman was incomplete at the time of Górecki’s 2010 death and thus missed its premiere. However, Górecki’s son Mikolaj, also a composer, finished it. Connected by four movements, Symphony No. 4 is a challenging, jarring and thunderous celebration of Henryk Górecki’s career. This recording was made during its 2014 world premiere performance at London’s Royal Festival Hall with co-commissioner London Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Andrey Boreyko.
