Generally acknowledged as Tony Palmer’s masterpiece, this film was originally screened on The South Bank Show, but such was its gravitas that no adverts were shown. It focuses on Gorecki’s famous third symphony, and through interviews with the composer at his home near Auschwitz as well as in the former concentration camp itself, gives a moving insight into this powerful work. The great film maker introduces his work in person.
