Witold Lutosławski

Polish composer and conductor (1913–1994)

Witold Roman Lutosławski (Polish: [ˈvitɔlt lutɔˈswafskʲi] ; 25 January 1913 – 7 February 1994) was a Polish composer and conductor. Among the major composers of 20th-century classical music, he is "generally regarded as the most significant Polish composer since Szymanowski, and possibly the greatest Polish composer since Chopin". His compositions—of which he was a notable conductor—include representatives of most traditional genres, aside from opera: symphonies, concertos, orchestral song cycles, other orchestral works, and chamber works.
