- Witold Lutostawski is widely regarded as one of the foremost composers of the post-war era and one of the truly great musicians of the 20th century. Charles Bodman Rae's examination of Lutostawski's life and work draws on wide-ranging and meticulous research, including hours of recorded conversation with the composer himself.
