Performed by Beth Gibbons of Portishead and the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra, conducted by none other than Krzysztof Penderecki.
The DP is Dariusz Jarzyna, edited by Marek Kremer. Actually recorded in 2014.
A real treat to see it actually performed live, showing for example that though there is a brass section, it's largely dormant. It's a staggering work and probably our joint favourite symphony ever. 'The Symphony of Sorrowful Songs' indeed.
It's not easy to top One Battle After Another, but this does it hands down.
