Gorecki Miserere

Gorecki Miserere
Los Angeles Master Chorale Gershon Grant
The resident chorale of Walt Disney Hall in Los Angeles,\nrecognised as one of the world’s premier choruses, pays tribute to\nthe late mystic minimalist, composer of the best-selling Symphony\nof Sorrowful Songs.
\n
Gorecki died on 12 November 2010, and this recording was driven\nby an urgent interest in preserving and appreciating his choral\nworks.
\n
Grant Gershon programmed Górecki’s Miserere during his very\nfirst season as Music Director of the Los Angeles Master chorale.\nThe follow-up to their debut Decca Classics album of music by Nico\nMuhly, Miserere showcases the extraordinary emotional power of the\nfull 110-voice Master Chorale singing unaccompanied.
\n
Featured on this release are the first major label recordings of\nboth Five Marian Songs and Lobgesang.

Review
Kate Rockstrom
Fans of contemporary choral music must be simply jumping for joy at the moment. Not only is there the release of a new Arvo Part work, but there’s this stunning recording of lamented Gorecki. Three works are featured on this disc with the Losa Angeles Master Chorale. Grant Gershon is conducting the Lobgesang, Piesni Maryjne and Miserere. Each work is delicately crafted and would be appreciated by anyone who needs something a little soothing after a long day at work.
