This September we bring the two topics of Music andWorld War II together with our returning guest, Dr. Michael Klein of TempleUniversity. Long time listeners may remember him from last season’s two partepisode on Fredrich Chopin which if you haven’t, I would encourage you to goback and listen to when you have a moment. As an expert in music and film, heinstructs on various subjects from music theory to Lord of the Rings. One ofhis particular research interests however, is the music and career of anotherPolish composer that certainly isn’t as familiar to many as the great Chopin.
Witold Lutoslawski wasborn in 1913 and lived until 1994. Born in Partition Poland, coming of age inthe Second Polish Republic, enduring the Communist State of Poland and passingaway in the current Third Republic, Lutosławski had a front row seat to thedefining elements of Polish History in the tumultuous 20th century.His choice to express this life through his musical brilliance, which was oftencurtailed by the expectations and censorship of the times he lived in.Regardless of your tastes in music, We hope you will very much enjoy thefascinating story of this remarkable man as told through our discussion.
