<abstract abstract-type="text-abstract"> <title> <x content-type="archive" xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>It's not the premiere of every Polish symphony that's greeted by a near sell-out audience at the Royal Festival Hall, but then it's not every composer whose previous symphony had the success of Henryk Górecki's Third, his <italic>Symphony of Sorrowful Songs</italic>. The Upshaw/London Sinfonietta/Zinman recording of this work has sold over a million copies.</p> </abstract>
