About
Although the composer's oeuvre covers a diverse repertoire, it is religious works that seem to be his hallmark.
For the creator, having as a model, among others, vocal and instrumental works by Gustav Mahler and Henryk Mikołaj Górecki, the overriding goal in his symphonies is to convey the expression and depth found within the texts used.
Both symphonies are characterised by an impressive number of performers. The First, full of dramatic contrasts, is a declaration of faith in the protection of Divine Providence. The Second pulsates with a constantly changing rhythm and time signature; it is in vain to look for contemplation and prayer in it, since its text reads "let us hurry to love".
The symphonies are highly expressive, and this is evident in this eloquent interpretation by outstanding soloists, choirs, and orchestra. The album is enriched by a set of texts from various sources included in the booklet.
