The 1992 Nonesuch recording of Henryk G贸recki's Symphony No. 3 ("Symphony of Sorrowful Songs"), featuring soprano Dawn Upshaw, the London Sinfonietta, and conductor David Zinman, remains the most commercially successful and iconic version of the work. It is widely praised for its "piercingly pure" vocal tone and transparent orchestral textures, though it faces critique from purists regarding its tempo and "plush" sound. Upshaw's performance is frequently described as "angelic," "delicate," and "radiant". Critics note her "other-worldly" voice that "soars ecstatically" over the orchestra.
