About this electronic
The Genesis Orchestra, led and conducted by Yordan Kamdzhalov, have collaborated with renowned vocal artist and composer Lisa Gerrard for this recording of Henryk Gorecki's Symphony No 3, also known as the Symphony of Sorrowful Songs, which is now appearing on CD and vinyl for the first time Originally written for performance by a solo soprano, the three movements have been lovingly reworked and rearranged to suit Lisa Gerrard's deeper register, creating an other-worldly and completely unique rendition of the piece. "When Yorden Kamdzhalov (Maestro of the Genesis Orchestra and Choir) suggested the somewhat daunting and intriguing challenge of visiting Gorecki's Songs Of Sorrows, I almost fainted delightfully with surprise.

The release also includes a beautiful live recording of "Vehadi", a sacred song by Beinsa Douno (Petar Dunov). "Working with Lisa Gerrard was simply a dream.
