have you seen the score for it?? absolutely amazing. as is most of
pederecki's work (and by the way, its pronounced pen-der-eski, not
-ecki).
** i've heard it's pen-der etski (this from my polish-born music history prof who was, apparently, a friend of penderecki).
in my view, the must-have of kp's music is the saint luke passion. (but there's quite a lot of his music that is really great.) check it out.
people on this list might also be interested in the music of giancinto scelsi.
