"The fact that this disc contains world premiere recordings of the Concerto-Cantata and the Harpsichord Concerto in its piano-and-orchestra form makes this issue self-recommending."
- MusicWeb International
"Five Stars ... the Warsaw Philharmonic does it full justice, playing equally convincingly and intensely in the severe concentrated slow sections and the all-out loud and fast episodes. Carol Wincenc plays the prominent flute part expressively ... always riveting."
- BBC Music Magazine
Antoni Wit leads the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra on these four works by Górecki, written between 1973 and 1993, which fully reflect the composer's expressive variety. Górecki's versatility is exemplified by the Little Requiem for a Certain Polka for piano and 13 instruments which combines a wide range of moods. The Concerto-Cantata, receiving its world premiere from flute soloist Carol Wincenc, alternates a moving vein of melancholy with a charged, violent energy. The radical, energetic Harpsichord Concerto is heard here in the version for piano and orchestra, performed by the composer’s daughter Anna.
