Górecki’s music is a great starting point for improvisation. His work has been used by many artists including jazz musicians Marcin and Bartłomiej Oleś (double bass, drums) and Christopher Dell (vibraphone) on the album Górecki Ahead (Audio Cave, 2018). They draw on diverse compositions by the best-selling composer, beginning with his Ad Matrem, written in 1973, all the way to Good Night from 1990. A well-trained ear will quickly catch the motifs borrowed from Górecki, however, even without this musical knowledge, their album is extremely enjoyable.

Thomas DeLio: Selected Compositions II (1972-2015).

Selected Compositions. Charles-Valentin Alkan. Selected Compositions.

Henryk Mikołaj Górecki (Polish: ; English pronunciation Goo-RET-ski; December 6, 1933 – November 12, 2010) was a Polish composer of contemporary classical music. According to critic Alex Ross, no recent classical composer has had as much commercial success as Górecki. Górecki became a leading figure of the Polish avant-garde during the post-Stalin cultural thaw.

In 1979, Górecki was selected to write music for Pope John Paul II’s visit to Poland, and his Beatus Vir received its first performance. Despite success in many composers’ competitions, Gorecki remained relatively unknown outside of Poland until the fourth commercial recording of the Third Symphony, Symphony of Sorrowful Songs, was released by Dawn Upshaw, the London Sinfonietta and David Zinman in 1992. This recording has sold over a million copies and risen to the top of the classical music charts in the UK and USA.
