Deryk Barker refers to Gorecki's Third as:

>...that godawful symphony.

I understand the hostility of Boulez, who called this a work for "cleaning
ladies," and the feelings of Doug Purl, who once expressed his distress at
the patriotic/religious content of the Polish texts, but, although I should
know better where Deryk is coming from aesthetically I don't.  Why the
hostility?
