Penderecki
Krenek, Gál & Penderecki: Serenade For Clarinet & Strings (AVI-Music)
Convincing exploration of three rare, rewarding works [JF]
Penderecki: Paradise Lost (Dux)
A valuable Penderecki rediscovery undermined by problems of preparation and presentation [PCG]
Polish Chamber Music (Dux)
Challenging music, brilliantly played, in a celebration of three decades of performing excellence [NB]
Penderecki: Orchestral Works (Naxos)
A beautiful, approachable vocal symphony coupled with two concertante works [WH]
Irrberge (Dux)
An interesting concept, though how much this really adds to the performances, I am not sure [MBu]
Szymanowski: Stabat Mater (Orfeo)
Penderecki’s Dies Irae is frighteningly powerful, but Szymanowski’s Stabat Mater is given an underwhelming performance [SW]
