Treble Calls Beth Gibbons’ New LP “An Absolute Triumph”

Treble writes that the new recording of Henryk Górecki‘s Third Symphony, which is performed by Portishead‘s Beth Gibbons with The Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra, “needs to be viewed from two angles, representative of the two musical worlds brought together here. One is as a performance of Gibbons, lead singer of Portishead, taking on a turbulent icon of modern classical music… The other is as a performance of Górecki’s symphony by a premier orchestra under the guidance of a premier conductor [Krzysztof Penderecki], with Gibbons as the lead soprano… From both angles it is an absolute triumph.” We agree, which is why it’s been such a pleasure to promote this unique and monumental work to radio.
