Listening Through The Dictionary of Composers and Their Music
Sir Andrzej Panufnik (1914-1991)
Bio
Panufnik was born in Warsaw. He studied at the Warsaw Conservatory initially as a percussionist and then as a composer/conductor. He composed music for the Polish resistance during World War II but much of his work during that time was destroyed. He met and collaborated with Kodály, Shostakovich, and Khachaturian but resisted Soviet Realism as an idiom. He eventually fled to the West, became a British citizen, and was knighted.
