| | James Wierzbicki / Krzysztof Penderecki |
 | | If Penderecki was a neo-Romantic in such ear-pleasing works as the 1972 ''Violin Concerto,'' the 1979 ''Te Deum'' and the 1980 ''Symphony No. 2,'' then with this latest opera, he has surely become a neo-Expressionist. |  | | Its theme is one that haunted Penderecki throughout the 1960s, and one that still finds voice in his music. |  | | As deliberately cacophonic as much of it is, however, Penderecki's music from the 1960s is seldom without purpose and meaning. |

Penderecki is confident that the Montreal Symphony Orchestra and Choir are up to the challenge: "I can only perform my Requiem with a really excellent orchestra and chorus. |  | | Penderecki will bring several eastern European soloists who have sung the Requiem before. |  | | During the week before this concert, a Polish Music Festival will be held at the Polish Consulate, 1500 Pine Ave. |

 | | Not all of Penderecki's music is as radical as "Threnody", though. |  | | For fans of Skronk, the elements of Penderecki's style that are most relevant are the use of clusters, glissandi, and microtones, with long passages or even entire works with no descernable tonal center. |  | | Even the major labels have taken to recording some of Penderecki's works; RCA (!) recorded "Utrenja" (and then promptly dropped it from the catalog) and Deutche Grammaphon has recorded "Polish Requiem." Still, like nearly all composers of note today, you will most likely have to order anything you want. |

 | | Of obviously keener interest to the symphony, Penderecki (pronounced Pen-der-ETT-ski) will also conduct his own Symphony no. 4 (1989) and the work with which he sharply changed the course of Polish classical music in 1960, Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima, for 52 strings. |  | | One thing remains clear: Penderecki's music is intensely expressive. |  | | "Oh, please," he says, "I've never composed any program music." In accepting the commission, Penderecki told the French Ministry of Culture that he would write them a symphony, "but it would be nothing about the revolution." |

 | | Penderecki occupies an important position in the music of his native Poland, while establishing an international reputation with music that had a wide effect. |  | | His earlier more experimental musical language was later subtly modified by his return to earlier traditions as a source of inspiration. |  | | The best known composition by Penderecki is his St. Luke Passion, the Passio et mors domini nostri Jesu Christi secundum Lucam, completed in 1965. |

 | | Penderecki himself has conducted his Passion, and recorded it most recently in the late 1980s. |  | | Since its 1966 premiere it has been recorded several times – not bad for a work by a composer who began his career a few years earlier on the forefront of the Polish avant-garde. |  | | Although some of Penderecki's devices are in fact modern (tone clusters, glissandi, extended vocal techniques, and the like), the St. |
