Extractions: Krzysztof Penderecki (b.1933) Metamorphosen - Violin Concerto No.2 Violin Sonata No.2, Sz 76 Anne-Sophie Mutter, violin / London Symphony Orchestra / Krzysztof Penderecki, conductor / Lambert Orkis, piano (DG 453 507 - 2) Category 20th-Century - Orchestral - Chamber Polish composer Krzysztof Penderecki is no mere entertainer. Since his desertion of Pierre Boulez influences, he became one of the first avant-garde composers to experiment with sounds generated by non-musical instruments such as sawing wood, typewriters, rustling paper, hissing, screeching and so on. Musical instruments were exploited through non-traditional means to create unique musical sound effects. But what made his works memorable was his ability to make sensible, artistic use of these freakish effects. A general survey of his fairly modest but distinguished output will reveal a body of very serious work. His popular choral pieces are mostly religious, intense and austere. In the orchestral category, the well-known Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima involved 52 strings paying haunting, eerie respects to the casualties of nuclear warfare.
