@bslon  the MC5, wow, I saw them at the Swing Auditorium (I saw tons of concerts there) and they really lit it up.  Very heavy hard-rock, and that was the first time I had ever heard of them.  They were an opening act for, I forget, who was the lead act.  I hope the album is recorded well so you could turn up the volume.  That's what the MC5 are meant to be, LOUD.

@sailmed 👍  I believe that at one time it was frequently performed music by orchestras around the world.   Maybe not so much the last few years.

Henryk Górecki 
Symphony No. 3 Opus 36 (1976)
Nonesuch 2016
075597949544 

Recorded May 1991 at CTS Studios, London
Dawn Upshaw Vocals
David Zinman conducting the London Sinfonietta 

This record was mastered by Bernie Grundman and has particularly important bass register phenomenon going on.  Full of pathos, translation of the sparse lyrics unnecessary.  

Re: Further exploration of classical music.  This is an amazing and beautiful record that I often recommend to people who don’t know or even dislike orchestral/classical  music in order to get them to a place to benefit.   A close, receptive listen to this might change your life - as it did mine.  

I also have another version which is:

Henryk Górecki
Symphony No. 3 (Symphony
   Of Sorrowful Songs) Op. 36
Domino (UK) 2019
887828039517

Beth Gibbons Vocals
Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra 

Interestingly, Beth Gibbons is the vocalist from the trip hop band Portishead.  If you’re inclined to be nonplussed by that information resist that urge.  

They are both really good records.
