Classic FM obituary

Not perhaps very folky, but I was once at a session in Edinburgh where the Polish barmaid suggested we ought to play some of his stuff.

I saw him quite a few time when he was principal guest conductor of the NDR Symphony Orchestra in Hamburg from 1988 on. He was a good'un.

Very sad news. Not mentioned on TV news Unfortunately the death of major composers and other significant musicians so often go unreported

In order to view this tribute to Penderecki,
you have to agree to cookies,
so warnings fair.

The source appears to be eastern European
and there is a LOT of information here.

Thanks keberoxu.
A nicely comprehensive survey this, befitting Penderecki's stature as a major composer.
