Film Description

A complete, uninterrupted, performance of Henryck Gorecki's 3rd Symphony, performed by the London Sinfonietta, with the camera moving between the orchestra, the soprano Dawn Upshaw, and the composer interviewed in his home setting and silently wandering through the empty death camp at Auschwitz. 'I wanted to express a great sorrow', said Gorecki, 'The war...the rotten times under Communism...our life today...the starving. What madness! This sorrow, it burns inside me. I cannot shake it off.'
