Western culture and I include Russia, have such a close embrace with music it goes straight to our Souls through our hearts. Some other cultures have similar music too, India, Asia, Japan, China, some African peoples and perhaps some so called First peoples. My point is that those cultures that have prevented expression via music and song, musical instruments are truly dead cultures, lifeless hollow people without Souls, I know many of these people they have escaped to us to fill their inner void, they feel alive in music and cannot understand why one man should stop what is so obvious;y a gift, a gift from God.

Your mother is wonderful and blessed, as you are. Peace and love to you family. Xx

very good the end of the fist mov

O Maria, sine labe concepta... Ora pro nobis 🙏

Beautiful…..then KZbin go and spoil it by plonking an advertisement half way through.

I first heard this on BBC radio 6 music , Marc Radcliffe and Stuart MacConie show. Many years ago, lit the torch for me to explore other music. Thanks lads. ❤❤

13:20 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Maravillosa canción ❤

Karanlık gunduzlerin aci dolu gecelerin safaginda yozlasmis gonlumun tekrarlayip durdugu tek bir kelime var ki aklimdan cikmayacak tek dusunce oldugunu kendimce biliyorum. O dusunce ise su fakir aciz histerik karmasik ucra degersiz kusurlu ve bastan asagi bir sacmaliktir. Komik olansa dusuncelerimin eleginden bir turlu cikmayan ayiklanmayan ayik olmayan zihnimi surekli ayirmasindan ziyade kendimle bagdastirabildigim bir dusunce olmasidir. Sonsuz olanin sonu, sonunun sonucunda sonlanmasiysa eger sonsuz sonu olmayan bir sonlu mudur? Bitmeyecek olana ara verilebilir mi ki? Dusmeyecek olan nasil dusebildi? Yanmadan durmayacak yuregimin atesi ne zaman mutlak sifira dusuverdi? Iki ne zaman sifira indirgendi? Sadece giden midir giden yoksa arda kalacak hicbir sey birakmayan gidenin arkasindan hasret cekmeyen miydi? Hepsinin bir ortak noktasi var ki o da her seyin sonlanacak olmasiydi. Sonlar sonlanmayacak olan sonsuzlardi her zaman.

Nice

One of the most beautiful openings ever. It makes me cry 😢

So emotional with an inspiring message of hope ❤

"No, mother, do not weep. Most chaste Queen of Heaven Support me always. Hail Mary, full of grace". (Prayer inscribed on the wall of cell no. 3 in the basement of "Palace" - the Gestapo's headquarters in Zakopane, Poland; Beneath was the signature: Helena Wanda Błażusiakówna, 18 years old, imprisoned since 26 September 1944"). [Helena Błażusiak survived torture without betraying her comrades and then she managed to escape from deportation train to nazi concentration camp. She died in 1999].

"Mamo, nie płacz, nie... Niebios Przeczysta Królowo, Ty zawsze wspieraj mnie. Zdrowaś Mario, Łaskiś Pełna". (modlitwa wyryta przez młodą łączniczkę ZWZ-AK w celi katowni gestapo. Poniżej modlitwy znajdowała się inskrypcja: Zakopane Palace, cela nr 3, ściana nr 3. Błażusiakówna Helena Wanda, lat 18, siedzi od 25 września 44"). [Helena Błażusiak nikogo nie zdradziwszy przeżyła tortury, a także udało się jej zbiec z transportu do obozu. Zmarła w 1999 r.].

Divin

One of my most favourite pieces of music of all time. 🎼🪔🎼🪔

Mind blowing pure bliss❤

Is it just me, or does the conducting look right out of sync?

Where was this filmed?

Truly beautiful. And the backdrop. Hairs on ends, what an experience this must have been. Wonderful art .

The devastation and horrors that a people endured at the hands of their oppressors is happening today. We are 152 days into yet another genocide. God help us all. 🙏

this song is based on scribbles left on the wall by young polish girl murdered by Gestapo (hitler's police) in Zakopane, Poland during WW2. Incredibly simple and incredibly powerfull music.

Soprano et tenor solistes HORRIBLES! HORRIBLES ! Quelle honte ! Ça, à Köln, à quelques kilomètres de Bonn…

Hadley est très mauvais ici: il pousse sa voix comme les mauvais ténors (ce qu’il n’était pas) et se trompe dans sa partie 02:45 ! Et c’est quoi ce look ????? On dirait qu’il est déjà en pleine dépression, celle même qui va le pousser à se tuer avec une carabine quelques années plus tard. Triste 😢

Putting ads in the middle of the song!! Come on You Tube - that’s a bit much!

This is on the John Hopkins playlist for psylocibin therapy. I found dignity love respect union with nature that day. Such a powerful trip. Anyways every time I listen to this piece again it just makes me cry automatically. One of the most powerful pieces of music I’ve ever heard.

Zofia Kilanowicz best interprets Górecki's music. Unfortunately, she became seriously ill with multiple sclerosis. The words are a prayer carved with a broken tooth on the wall by a young Polish woman tortured by the Germans. She survived the war.

Performed in a beautiful St. Mary's Church in Krakow, conducted by an American conductor who used to be a director of Krakow Philharmonic and was a friend of Pope John Paul II. This composition is based on a poem written by a young girl on the wall of Nazi prison in Zakopane to her mother before she was murdered there.

🕊❤👑🕊❤👑🕊❤👑

It is the symphony I have listened to the most times, by far, in my life, and it is part of my personal soundtrack.

The composer of this piece went to Austivic concentration camp pow and saw a scroll a prisoner wrote in a cell saying help me Mary mother of God which inspired him to write this piece 😢😢😢haunting but so beautiful

Zofia Kilanowicz...my heart crying...with your voice...

Read all the comments: all of them descibe a common human experience that is beyond beautiful.

This first time I heard Gorecki's Symphony 3, 2nd Movement, I was living in the South fo France and it was fall time. It was gray outside., raining and the air was cold. I remember having incense burning, perhaps a fire in the fireplace. It left such an impression on me. Several years later, I was listening to it on my walkman living in Kyoto, Japan walking in the snow. Triple wow! That movement just grabs me.

I want to find lyrics. Who can help me,?

I hear the violin solo as the human spirit reaching to the heavens, reaching for hope, for love, for meaning.

Almost Madrigal ... Flute & Oboes Are Singing To Us ...

4:00 really loving the waves of orchestra that keep rising up the shore in the background with that conflicted beauty of a chord.

Gilbert Levine (born 1948) is an American conductor who attended the Julliard School of Music, and holds an A.B. degree from Princeton University and a M.A. degree from Yale University. He was an assistant to Sir Georg Solti in London at the London Philharmonic Orchestra and at the Royal Opera House (Covent Garden), and in Paris with Orchestre de Paris. Early in his career, Levine conducted orchestras both in Europe and the United States, including the Philadelphia Orchestra, New York Philharmonic, the San Francisco Symphony, the Minnesota Orchestra, Toronto Symphony, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, the NDR Sinfonie-Orchester Hamburg, and the Radio-Sinfonie Orchester-Berlin. Levine first gained international notice when he became conductor and artistic director of the Kraków Philharmonic in 1987. He was the first American chief conductor of an Eastern European orchestra. He was a friend of Pope John Paul II and conducted papal concerts on Pope's request, one of them in a beautiful St. Mary's church in Krakow with almost 600 year old altar, the size of the entire wall with gold biblical figures. I have attended a couple of his concerts when I was in Krakow in the 90s, very memorable.

今から３０年ぐらい前、話題になった曲ですね❤ 当時は、デビット•ジンマンのCDがヒットしたと思います。 こうやって動画で聴くことが出来て感謝いたします。 どうもありがとうございます😊

This breaks my heart.

Si, yo también la escuche por primera vez como en el año 2000 en la Estación de Radio de mí ciudad Opus 102.1 del gobierno de Nuevo León y no paré hasta que la encontré. A mi también me conmovió mucho. Después supe que hace unos años falleció su compositor Henry Goreky un gran Maestro. Gracias por su legado y qepd.

Mamo / mother Mamo / mother Mamo nie placz / mother do not cry Mamo nie placz, nie / mother do not cry, no Niebios przeczysta królowo / pure queen of heaven Ty zawsze wspieraj mnie / you always support me Ty zawsze wspieraj mnie / you always support me Ty zawsze wspieraj mnie / you always support me Niebios przeczysta królowo / pure queen of heaven Ty zawsze wspieraj mnie / you always support me Mamo / mother Mamo / mother Mamo / mother Niebios przeczysta królowo / pure queen of heaven Ty zawsze wspieraj mnie / you always support me Ty zawsze wspieraj mnie / you always support me Zdrowaś Marjo, łaski pełna / Hail Mary, full of grace

Polish classical music is inrepeatable-top of the top

I wish I knew what she was saying

I heard this played in Krakow, in a way the music suits Krakow, the pain, the suffering

Ok, Ok!! Yes, this is sublime. [I first heard the Upshaw/Zinman recording as so many have. All others will be compared that, as always happens. I love Dawn Upshaw because of that.] But is there a vid of Zofi K singing the 1st (and best!) movement !???!!?!?!? ...gotta be somewhere!

6:47-6:54

Compulsive, hypnotic, inspiring, beautiful.

Even in the drowning swells of inconsolable sorrow, the liferaft of hope is within reach.
