Górecki - Miserere

Henryk Górecki - Miserere, 1981. Performed by the Chicago Symphony Chorus. Recorded at St. Mary of the Angels Church, Chicago. This Miserere, composed in 1981 for a large choir, was written as a protest against the assault of Solidarity activists in the city of Bydgoszcz by the Polish Militia.
