Polish Music in the Twentieth Century

Jacek Rogala


In 20th century Polish art has attained an unprecendented status; for the first time the achievements of a diverse group of Polish artists have been widely acclaimed. This has not been just a passing fashion; the achievements of Polish art in the 20th century promise to withstand the test of time, and to provide fundamental points of reference - landmarks setting out the course of further development for every one of the arts. It is appropriate to mention the names of at least some of these artists, working both in Poland and abroad. In music, composers such as Grażyna Bacewicz, Henryk Mikołaj Górecki, Wojciech Kilar, Witold Lutosławski, Andrzej Panufnik, Krzysztof Penderecki, Karol Szymanowski and Aleksander Tansman.

A survey of Polish music from the beginning of the 20th century to the new millenium, covering events and composers of the century always with an eye towards the influence of social and political events. With an index and black & white photos.
