When, in 1992, his static, almost incantatory Third Symphony revealed itself with a "viral" success to the Western public - recorded by the London Sinfonietta nearly selling a million copies - Gorecki, who had composed it for over 15 years, was still an unknown, hidden from most by that "iron curtain" (just dissolved) which had not prevented his compatriot Penderecki from imposing himself on the whole world. Also born at the end of 1933, from his Polish homeland he stands among the ranks of the international avant-garde with a very personal rigor, as with the famous Trenodiacharging the strings with the deafening shriek of nuclear obscenity. The pain is as deep as that of the "plaintive songs" torn from a prison wall by Gorecki. The lightness touched by Beethoven in his Triple of him is no longer even a memory.

Quando, nel 1992, la sua statica, quasi incantatoria Terza Sinfoniasi rivela con un successo “virale” al pubblico occidentale – incisa dalla London Sinfonietta sfiora il milione di copie vendute – Gorecki, che l’aveva composta da oltre 15 anni, era ancora uno sconosciuto, nascosto ai più da quella “cortina di ferro” (appena dissolta) che non aveva invece impedito al connazionale Penderecki di imporsi al mondo intero. Nato anch’egli alla fine del 1933, dalla patria polacca si erge tra le fila dell’avanguardia internazionale con un rigore personalissimo, come con la celeberrima Trenodiache carica gli archi dell’assordante stridore dell’oscenità nucleare. Il dolore è profondo, quanto quello dei “canti lamentosi” strappati al muro di una prigione da Gorecki. La levità sfiorata da Beethoven nel suo Triplonon è neppure più un ricordo.
