• Gramophone blogs on Lutosławski

If you haven’t noticed them already, check out Michael McManus’s blogs celebrating the Lutosławski centenary.  He blends personal reminiscence with insights into the works and their performances.  He has some intriguing observations, not least on Perényi’s recent Berlin performance of the Cello Concerto under Simon Rattle (4.03.13) and on Stanisław Skrowaczewski’s interpretation of the Concerto for Orchestra in a rehearsal with the Hallé Orchestra (20.03.13).  The blogs are available in the Gramophone online edition.  There have been five so far.
