PENDERECKI, KRZYSZTOF — Kosmogonia
More Info
Unnerving, intense, bloodcurdling, sinister, dramatic the music of Kosmogonia features Pendereckis famous, unorthodox instrumental techniques, and some of the darkest music ever composed.
Hailed by The Guardian as Polands greatest living composer, Krzysztof Penderecki is the maestro behind the unforgettable, disturbing music on The Shining (including De Natura Sonoris No. 2, featured here). A complex tapestry of sound with striking use of pizzicato and flexatone, with aggressive barrages from brass and percussion, dissonant woodwind chords, spoken and hissing sounds, fervent strings, swirling organ, climactic choral and solo vocals.
Krzysztof Pendereckis unique music has featured in films such as: The Shining, The Exorcist, Children Of Men, The People Under The Stairs, Shutter Island, and many more.
Thanks to the estate of Krzysztof Penderecki, Cold Spring are honoured to present this masterpiece in digital format for the first time since the 1974 vinyl release. Sympathetically remastered for CD by Denis Blackham and Martin Bowes.
