Zijn er op dit forum meer liefhebbers van de muziek van Witold Lutoslawski? en wat is het dat jullie zo boeit aan deze componist.
Voor mij persoonlijk is hij misschien wel de grootste componist van deze eeuw, los van de enorme bergen prijzen die hij heeft mogen ontvangen, al is dat wel een zeer indrukwekkende lijst.
Lutoslawski's work received wide recognition, including the award of the Polish Composer's Union (1959, 1973); First Prize of the Minister of Culture and Art (1962); the First State Prize (1955, 1964, 1978); first prize at the UNESCO International Rostrum of Composers in Paris (1959, 1962, 1964, 1968); the Sergej Kussewitzky prize (1964, 1976, 1986); the Gottfried von Herder prize (1967); the L. Sonning prize (1967); the Maurice Ravel prize (1971); the Jean Sibelius prize (1973); the E. von Siemens prize (1983); the Charles Grawemeyer prize (1985); the Queen Sofia of Spain prize (1985). In 1983, he was honoured with the Artistic Prize of the Committee of Independent Culture of Solidarity Trade Union. In 1985, he was awarded a gold medal by the Royal Philharmonic Society in London, and in 1992 received a gold medal and the title of musician of the year 1991 from the Incorporated Society of Musicians in Great Britain and the medal of Stockholm's Concert Hall Foundation, and in 1993, the “Polar Music Prize” and “Kyoto Prize” in the field of art. In 1994, Lutoslawski was awarded the highest state prize in Poland - the Order of the White Eagle. He has also been awarded honorary membership in numerous musical associations, academies of art and science, including the International Society for Contemporary Music, the Royal Swedish Academy of Music (Kungliga Svenska Musikaliska Akademien), Free Academy of the Arts (Freie Akademie der Künste) in Hamburg, German Academy of the Arts (Deutsche Akademie der Künste) in Berlin, Academy of Fine Arts (Akademie der Schönen Künste) in Munich, American Academy of Arts and Letters in New York, Royal Academy of Music in London and the Union of Polish Composers. Many universities have granted Lutoslawski honorary doctorates, including the universities of Warsaw, Torun, Chicago, Lancaster, Glasgow, Cambridge, Durham, the Jagiellonian University in Krakow and McGill University in Montreal. Since 1990, the National Philharmonic in Warsaw has been organising the Lutoslawski International Competition for Composers.
