Symphony No. 3, Op. 36: II. Lento e Largo - Tranquillissimo

Today's Classical Corner... The haunting Lento e largo of Gorecki's 3rd Symphony!

Chillingly, this 2nd Mvmnt contains the lyrics of a prayer written by an 18 year-old Polish girl, who scratched these words on the wall of her prison, after being arrested by the Nazis: Mother, do not cry, no, Most pure, Queen of Heaven, Protect me always, Hail Mary.
