message: I see the usual icons are not present here. When I click on the sound files, it starts downloading them (which I don't really want). Is there a reason for this, I wonder? --Kleinzach 02:29, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Here, using IE7, when I click on the "Listen" link, IE7 asks me whether I want to download and save the file or open it; when I select "Open", IE7 downloads the .ogg file and plays it in Media Player Classic. Note that to play an .ogg file every browser needs to download the file first, one way or another. I suspect that a browser's reaction to clicking an .ogg file is highly dependent on the user's local configuration. Michael Bednarek (talk) 12:08, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

message: The liner notes accompanying the London Sinfonietta recording of Symphony No. 3 are by British critic David Drew and contain a few pieces of information which may be useful:
*Górecki’s First Symphony (1959) "expressed (he has said) something of the sense of a new start—both in his own life (it was, among other things, the year of his marriage) and in Poland itself."  This last comment alludes to the "thaw" of the late 1950s, which proved short-lived.
*The Second Symphony was "a full-throated answer" to the disillusion resulting from the end of that thaw.
*Drew draws significance from the fact that both the composer’s birthplace and Katowice, where he studied music, are close to Oświęcim.  The language is a little obscure, but suggests this proximity ("imbedded in his private landscape") was a factor in the project which became his Third Symphony.

replies: text: I think the first quote (which looks like a paraphrase) would be a valuable addition.  Marek, T. & David Drew. "Górecki in Interview (1968) -- and 20 Years After." Tempo, no. 168 (March 1989): 25-29 would be a good place to look for it (not available to me).  Kablammo (talk) 13:04, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

message: There is a lecture & performance entirely on Gorecki by Professor Adrian Thomas and Chamber Domaine which is avaliable online (transcript, audio & video): http://www.gresham.ac.uk/event.asp?PageId=45&EventId=815   As Professor Thomas is one of the main experts on Gorecki quoted in this article, Chamber Domaine have just released a CD of Gorecki music and never-before-heard music was performed in the concert, it seems that this should certainly be linked, if not directly referenced in the article.  (I only don't put it up myself as there is a possible conflict-of-interest as I am connected with Gresham College, where the lecture was given).  Jamesfranklingresham (talk) 17:22, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

message: I think that the fact that Boulez was a friend of HG is not a reason to have his picture in the article. I suggest it is removed. Thank you--Karljoos (talk) 11:20, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

message: What is it that inspired Górecki to change from serialism and dissonance to holy minimalism, as this change was described in the article? Did something happen in the 1970's with either Górecki or the music world that motivated this change? I ask partly because of my own interest, and partly because I think that this information (if someone else knows) would be a great addition to the wikipedia entry. Thank you. --Pittsoc25 (talk) 17:34, 11 September 2011 (UTC)

message: The article on "Beatus Vir" says the piece was commissionned by Karol Wojtyła for the 900th anniversary of the martyrdom of St. Stanisław, whereas this article says it was composed for the appointment of Karol Wojtyła. None of the statements have a reference.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.104.107.138 (talk) 05:22, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
