“Penderecki - Resurrection Piano Concerto • Ciaccona” - just released

Penderecki’s Piano Concerto

“Resurrection” was recorded live from a performance at the Lithuanian National Philharmonic Hall in September 2021, with Lithuania’s legendary pianist Muza Rubackyté as soloist and the Lithuanian National Symphony conducted by Maestro Wilson.

Poland’s most celebrated contemporary composer,  

Penderecki, worked on this concerto in 2001-2002 and dedicated it to the events of September 11th, 2001, expressing in his own words:

“The title Resurrection should be understood in a broader, symbolic and universal context. It arises from the chorale that crowns the work and expresses the victory of life over death. I composed the chorale, a symbol of comfort and faith, immediately after the tragedy in New York. It was a purely human gesture and a sign of protest against cruelty.”

The recording is now available on your preferred streaming platform.
