"The voices of the Warsaw Boys' Choir and the Kraków Philharmonic Choir draw the listener immediately into this recording of the St Luke Passion ... This is a work that has remained in the public's imagination more than any other by Penderecki ... The work is wonderfully threaded together by the Evangelist, Sławomir Holland ... The soprano Warah Wegener is also remarkable ... and she, like the other soloists, is accompanied by some truly sensitive orchestral playing. One of the great challenges of this work, in fact, is finding a balance between its many moments of chamber music-like intimacy and its gestural monumentality, and in this the orchestra is fundamental ... This is a great work deserving of great performances. Will it be only me whose face is bathed in tears as the final chord sounds?".
