Polish Music?


I'm doing some research for a production and I need some classic polish music. Especially sad Polish music.

Can anyone help?

And, well after all - Chopin was Polish!
GOOD LUCK!
Henryk Górecki's Third Symphony, the Symphony of Sorrowful Songs. Beautiful, powerful, music...a very good version exists on Nonsuch with Dawn Upshaw, David Zinman, the London Sinfonietta

Also, Chopin was Polish (I can suggest some specific works, if you want)
Look for Preisner, Gorecki, Lutosławski or Penderecki.

Chopin was also a Pole.
