Beth\u2019s voice is, in classical terms, a contralto; G\u00f3recki wrote for a soprano, one register higher. While she had ventured into the soprano range before, she hadn\u2019t spent a sustained stretch of time there in performance; she sought the help of both English and Polish vocal coaches. Typical to Beth, the challenge was met and exceeded.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The 1992 album release was something of an outlier at the time since the recording climbed to Number Six on the mainstream U.K. album charts and to date it has sold over a million copies. <em>Henryk\u00a0G\u00f3recki: Symphony No. 3 (Symphony of Sorrowful Songs)<\/em> arrives March 29th in a variety of formats, included a deluxe edition of the LP that come paired with both limited edition photo print signed by Gibbons and a DVD of the performance.
