The legendary Lithuanian pianist Mūza Rubackytė, a longtime friend of Krzysztof Penderecki, presents a live recording of the late Polish master’s Piano Concerto “Resurrection” with the Lithuanian National Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Keri-Lynn Wilson. Completed in 2006, Penderecki dedicated it to the events of 9/11, saying: “The title ‘Resurrection’ should be understood in a broader, symbolic, and universal context. It arises from the chorale that crowns the work and expresses the victory of life over death. I composed the chorale, a symbol of comfort and faith, immediately after the tragedy in New York. It was a purely human gesture and a sign of protest against cruelty.” Rubackytė has been a champion of this monumental, powerful, and tormented score, whose melodic richness, bell-like sonorities, and dramatic intensity reflect the unique imagination of a composer marked by war, inspired by faith, and guided by humanism. The album includes the Ciaccona in memoriam Giovanni Paolo II, arranged for solo piano.
