Help with pronunciation of Gorecki Symphony

Thank you !! :)

Proszę bardzo.

:)

I would say more like

m-yeah-chee-swarf

(that's assuming that because you're in Birmingham, you don't pronounce the r. The last vowel is really slightly more like the a in cat, definately not like the a in wharf).

Merged: Marcela - how is the Polish version pronounced?

I noticed Marcela on the name day name day thing... ive always liked that name but i have only known people who were hispanic with the name

how is the polish version pronounced?

like MarTZela

I always thought of the C sound as TS in English like in the word "co" pronounced more like "tso".

Martsela

Intresting this version sounds like:

Marsela

:)

Ive never heard it the way the 'american' voice says it

I like it pronounced the Marsela way

Merged: Niech żywi nie tracą nadziei - Pronunciation?

I'm having a bit of trouble pronouncing this these words in secession. Can someone pretty please outline how to pronounce these words so I have a frame of reference? Thanks :)

Nyeh gy-vee nye tra-tsom na-jay-ee
the g is soft like in the word "genre"

Can anyone recommend a recording of this by a Polish opera singer? The versions I have of this are beautiful, but they are sung by non-Polish sopranos, and you can hear they don't sing it correctly. Anyone who's learnt even basic Polish can notice the mispronunciation easily.



Can you confirm these are the right words (I've skipped repetition):

Mamo, nie płacz, nie
Niebios przeczysta Królowo
Ty zawsze wspieraj mnie
Zdrowaś Mario, łaskiś pełna

The accent (stressed syllable) is important and indicated below by the upper case:

Mamo, Mamo, nie placz,

Niebios Przeczysta Królowo,

Ty zawsze wspieraj mnie.

Zdrowaś Mario Laskiś Pelna

MAH-maw, MAH-maw NYEH* pwahch
NYEH-byawss psheh-CHISS-tah KROO-law-vaw
TIH ZAHF-sheh FSPYEH-rahy MNYEH
ZDRAW-vahsh MAH-ryaw WAHS-keesh PEHW-nah

* eh is used here to indicate the short e in English let, met, pet, etc.
