Actually, I thought EMI had a couple of Penderecki collections, one of which contained the Threnody. It's probably his most popular piece and I can only assume you went to the wrong record store.

I always thought this was a pretty well known piece!

Also I was looking for Penderecki's Threnody for the victims of Hiroshima. But none of the people in the store knew this piece. They also looked in a very big catalogue, but they couldn't find it. They said it was probably only recorded "back in the day". Is this a really obscure piece? Is it maybe too eerie for them?
