as good as the Third?

Probably not, but I got this after Gorecki died recently. Beatus Vir I knew already- great stuff. The Second is wonderful too. Get it and try it- it's cheap and magical

Sym 2 is Incredible But Dark

ProgNClassicaLover

Gorecki's incredible Second Symphony is what Univers Zero would sound like with a full orchestra. If you don't know Univers Zero, think King Crimson in a particularly dark mood. Beutus Vir is Eastern European holy minimalism at its finest and most spirtually moving.
