Copyright law is a fickle beast.

2016/05/12

Henryk Gorecki's 3rd Symphony, often referred to as the Symphony of Sorrow, is one of the most popular pieces of classical music ever composed and with good reason. Sonically dense, and often brutally minimalist in construction.In other words a perfect fit for saxophonist Colin Stetson's frequently off-kilter sensibilities.WIth little help from friends like Sarah Neufeld(Arcade Fire) and Greg Fox (Liturgy), Stetson has crafted a work that is as reverent of the original as it is audacious.
