Wow...5
Before I bought this CD, I was only aquainted with Penderecki's "Threnody for the victims of Hiroshima". These choral works are definatly as intense.
Penderecki uses various techniques, such as speaking, whispering, making staccato hissing-like sounds, and tone clusters to make his music express every emotion of the text. The very intense text of the Stabat Mater calls for emotions so complex, that sometimes even music cannot express them, so Penderecki looks for other ways. He is sure to make your hair stand on end, and intrigue you and absorb you into his world.
The Recording is very good, as is the choir. I would definatly recommend this CD, if you are either a fan of Penderecki, or are looking for something very new.
