Beth Gibbons launched a website earlier this month and today she announced the release of a new project. Gibbons has performed Henryk Górecki: Symphony No. 3 (Symphony of Sorrowful Songs) -- a three movement symphony -- backed by the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra. The audio and film recording took place at the National Opera Grand Theatre in Warsaw on November 29th 2014 (conducted by Krzysztof Penderecki) and will be released on March 29th.

Gibbons' preparation for the project was an intense experience:

"Following an invitation to collaborate at the concert, Beth Gibbons undertook an intense preparation process, including tackling the challenge of learning the original text (and the emotional weight it carries) without speaking the mother language. Typical to Beth though - the elusive yet iconic frontwoman of one of the most important British bands of the last two decades - the challenge was met and exceeded. Her performance alongside the maestro Penderecki has been hailed as triumphant, as you can see and hear on this release."

Henryk Górecki: Symphony No. 3 (Symphony of Sorrowful Songs) featuring Beth Gibbons will be released on LP and CD March 29th. Both formats include a bonus DVD featuring the concert film; the LP edition includes a limited edition photo print signed by Beth Gibbons, plus wav/mp3 download card.
