## Resource

The name comes from the night of the week when for some of us, the frustrations of insomnia hit the hardest… and because my preferred antidote is getting lost in some music. Of course this series is for everyone… but it is perhaps intended a little more for those of you whose sleep has been troubled. The idea of the special is to play just one piece, uninterrupted and in its entirety… with a few minutes of background explained at the end of the episode. This month… Henryk Górecki's Symphony No. 3 – 'Symphony of Sorrowful Songs' from 1976. Performed by the London Sinfonietta conducted by David Zinman featuring the soprano, Dawn Upshaw.
