A Sad Loss – Composer Henryk Mikolaj Górecki

    Not like you to be behind the times, Webmaster. :)

    This incredibly moving piece of music, which was a tribute to victims of the Holocaust, was made popular by Classic FM which was itself in its infancy at the time. It’s actually the only piece by this composer which was ever popular, as far as I know. I certainly never liked anything else he wrote. Not that I can actually bring anything to mind, come to think of it.

    I know what you mean. I have been going thru blogging “downers” which I think is quite common. Sometimes it can feel as if you’re going up a downward escalator….
