Was his 4th symphony performed, finally?

Martin

No, Gorecki's 4th symphony remains very much like Gorecki's talent -- unfinished and unfinishable.

Sorry to hear that...

Indeed, my dear Berg; I am confident that if, upon reaching the unfinished section of the symphony, one were to put blank music sheets before a conductor and the orchestra, thereby allowing the musicians to play whatever they wished, and letting the conductor conduct anything he wished -- giving cues, indicating time, tempo, dynamics, etc. at random -- I am confident that the result would be even more remarkable than the talent of Herr Gorecki himself.

I guess you don't like his music...Neither do I....His 3rd is bitter...just bitter...

Enough of the disrespect. I do not recall saying, at any point, that this thread was about liking or disliking Górecki's music. It was about paying tribute.

Lars/Robin, you might just as well close this thread. Thank you.

Thanks, Teddy. I must try not to "pull any punches" next time, what!

And I really hate it when some interesting troll-punching happens, White Knight my friend, I'm thoroughly with you about that (now banned moron). Mat - sorry this thread turned out so negative, thank you again for paying respect to a composer who will be missed greatly.
