		Lutoslawski's Concerto for Orchestra is dominated by its final movement, an ecstatic passacaglia.
		In the Lutoslawski, the passacaglia theme slowly works its way, with considerable force and in a variety of brilliantly shaped variations, from the background to the foreground.
		When Witold Lutoslawski died at the age of 81, there was a sense that something in the process of flowering had suddenly expired without warning.

	Witold Lutoslawski's Mi-Parti A Musical Essay in Sound Textures
		The structure of each of the phases utilizes the concept of foreshortening in which the lengths of the phrases in each of the individual solo lines shortens as the approach towards the climax progresses, and the entrances of subsequent instruments or groups of instruments occur sooner, creating a denser texture.
		The main feature of Lutoslawski's use of what he terms "limited aleatorism" or "aleatorism of texture", is that "the performers are given the freedom of establishing the order in which the formal elements, as composed by the author, are finally presented to the listeners" (Lutoslawski 1968, 48).
		This "confusion" of the harmonic textures is Lutoslawski's intent (Nikolska 1994, 127).

		He studied piano, violin and composition (with Witold Maliszewski, a pupil of Rimsky-Korsakov), graduating from the Warsaw Conservatory in 1937.
		Lutoslawski survived the difficult war years and Stalinist period by writing for radio, film and theatre, and doing folk-song arrangements and music for children.
		Having achieved his mature style by this point, Lutoslawski went on to compose nearly twenty major orchestral works, including Symphony No. 3 (1982), for which he was awarded the prestigious Grawemayer Award, and his last, Symphony No. 4 (1992), for the Los Angeles Philharmonic.

	Central Europe Review - Music: Lutoslawski's First Symphony
		Witold Lutosławski (1913-94) composed his First Symphony around the time of World War II, a conflict which impacted severely on his personal life and career.
		In the case of Polish composer Witold Lutosławski (1913-94), the desire to make such connections can be almost overwhelming, for many of the events which so profoundly remoulded Poland during the 20th Century had a direct effect on Lutosławski's family, career, and personal circumstances.
		Witold's brother Henryk, meanwhile, suffered a more terrible fate at the hands of Soviet captors, having been transported to the Kolyma region of Siberia where he was forced to mine gold in inhuman conditions.

	Composer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Witold Lutolawski was born on 25th January 1913.
		Returning to Warsaw in 1919, Lutoslawski studied the violin with a former pupil of Joachim and, from 1927, composition with Rimsky-Korsakov’s pupil Witold Maliszewski.
		The Stalinist direction of post-war Polish society meant that composition was largely restricted to arrangements of folk-music and works for children, though the Concerto for Orchestra (Naxos 8.553779) shows how such accessibility could be harnessed to the virtuosity of the modern orchestra.

	Polish culture: CONTEMPORARY POLISH MUSIC
		These aesthetics are represented in Polish music mainly by Witold Lutoslawski (1913-1994) and Krzysztof Penderecki (born 1933) as well as Henryk Mikolaj Gorecki (born 1933) and additionally by Kazimierz Serocki (1922-1981), Tadeusz Baird (1928-1981), Wojciech Kilar (born 1932), Witold Szalonek (born 1927), Boguslaw Schaeffer (born 1929), and Wlodzimierz Kotonski (born 1925).
		Lutoslawski laid the foundations of twelve-sound harmonics which are technically and aesthetically distant from the achievements of Arnold Schonberg's Vienna school.
		Lutoslawski found the amazing point where tradition transforms itself into the future, he found the boundary between acceptance of the transgressed tradition and the reserve towards new lands one discovers.

		Witold Lutoslawski received his training at the Warsaw Conservatory (1932–37).
		He incorporated much of what he heard, resulting in what he called "aleatoric counterpoint." What this meant was that he wrote the individual parts of a piece with distinct pitches, but left the durations of the notes and the temporal relationship of the parts, to the discretion of the performer and conductor.
		Lutoslawski spent the last years of his life teaching and conducting his own works.

		Witold Lutoslawski's single Piano concerto (although composer wanted to write one at the young age but was not satisfied with progress) is one of the most "listenable" contemporary concertos of the man, who went through the avant-garde period to establish a new language with beauty.
		There are typical "Lutoslawski" elements in the concerto: avoiding tonal duplications between melody and harmony, harmony progression with thirds, fifhts and sevenths, colourful orchestration (there are some connections to Ravel) and perfect piano part.

		Though Lutoslawski himself was conducting the Berlin Philharmonic, the original recording of the Third Symphony included on this disc is nowhere near as good as the performance just a month later by the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Esa-Pekka Salonen conducting.
		Witold Lutoslawski has rightfuly reached the position as one of the great masters of the 20th century music.
		Even if Lutoslawski would not write anything else but the Concerto for orchestra, this magnificent, monumental work is one of the best orchestral works of the 20th century.

		Following the post-Stalin thaw, Lutoslawski made contact with the West, and the two works from that initial encounter, "Funeral Music" (for Bartok) and "Venetian Games" are perhaps the highlights of the disc -- resolutely modern music that, again, maintains the accessibility of Bartok or Stravinsky.
		Perhaps Lutoslawski was trying too hard to be radical in these works, while his strength was in carrying on in a less radical style with light touches of serialism and later developments.
		I rank Lutoslawski as one of the 3 greatest composers of the past half-century (the others are Ligeti and Carter).
