This first recording of Henryk Górecki’s final composition, Symphony No. 4, Tansman Episodes, was made during its 2014 world premiere at Royal Festival Hall with the London Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Andrey Boreyko. The piece, which pays homage to composer Alexsander Tansman, was incomplete at the time of Górecki's death; his son Mikolaj, also a composer, used his father's precise indications for orchestration to complete it. ""This swansong turned out to be extraordinary: playful, dramatic and tender,"" says the Boston Globe, ""an ambitious, hypnotic work."" Gramophone calls it ""a powerful and personal farewell from one of the 20th century’s most distinctive voices.""
