:music: The Symphony Of Sorrow :music:

In 1992, 15 years after it was composed, a recording of Henryk Gorecki's Third Symphony, Symphony of Sorrowful Songs, recorded with soprano Dawn Upshaw and released to commemorate the memory of those lost during the Holocaust became a worldwide commercial and critical success, selling more than a million copies and vastly exceeding the typical lifetime sales of a recording of symphonic music by a 20th-century composer. As surprised as anyone at its popularity, Górecki said, "Perhaps people find something they need in this piece of music somehow I hit the right note, something they were missing."
