 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.

 Krzysztof Penderecki
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."
