• Description

  Witold Lutosławski: Correspondence with his Western Publishers and Managers: 1966-1994: Volume 2: 1977-1994 The unique testimony of Lutosławski’s contacts and co-operation with J. & W. Chester and Wilhelm Hansen Musik-Forlag remains his correspondence with these two firms from the years 1966–1994, which is now kept at the Paul Sacher Archive in Basel. (Sammlung Lutosławski). These letters reflect all aspects of Lutosławski’s artistic activity both in European musical life and in the musical centres of the United States, Japan and Australia. [...] In his correspondence with J. & W. Chester there are letters (mostly typescripts) which Lutosławski exchanged with the successive managing directors, namely: George Rizza (27 November 1967 [letter no. 19] – 25 November 1972 [letter no. 241]), Robin Boyle (14 November 1972 [letter no. 238] – 10 September 1993 [letter no. 983]), his assistant and promotions manager – Sheila MacCrindle (30 January 1973 [letter no. 250] – 22 March 1991 [letter no. 969]), and with James Rushton (8 November 1985 [letter no. 873] – 31 January 1994 [letter no. 989]). The correspondence with those four people, which include letters addressed not only to Lutosławski, but also to his wife Danuta, constitutes the main part of the present collection. The second volume in this two-part series focuses on the years 1977-1994.
