Gorecki: Miserere;

The resident chorale of Disney Hall, recognized as one of the world s premier choruses, pays tribute to the late mystic minimalist, Henryk Gorecki composer of the best-selling Symphony of Sorrowful Songs

The composer died on 12 November 2010, and this recording was driven by an urgent interest in preserving and appreciating his choral works

The follow-up to their debut Decca Classics album of music by Nico Muhly showcases the extraordinary emotional power of the full 110-voice Los Angeles Master Chorale singing unaccompanied

The first major label recordings of both Five Marian Songs and Lobgesang

The New York Times calls the choir inspired, The New York Observer declares it a superb vocal ensemble and the Los Angeles Times proclaims it matchlessly polished
