Remarks:

Penderecki's 'Utrenja' was inspired by the Orthodox liturgy for Holy Saturday with its focus on the lamentation of Christ's death and the Easter Sunday morning service commemorating the Resurrection. The composer remarks that 'Utrenja' is a combination of pure, 'a cappella' vocal writing and orchestral effects (for strings and percussion) very much connected with electronic music. Enthusiastically received by audiences, it stands beside his 'Polish Requiem' (NXS 8557386) and 'St Luke Passion' (NXS 8557149) as one of the towering masterpieces of modern Polish music.
