Gorecki by Adrian Thomas
This study of composer Henryk Gorecki provides biographical information as background to his music. It discusses his position as leader of the Polish avant-garde in the late 1950s, and his subsequent discovery of the folk and church music of old Poland. It includes a list of works since 1955.
Adrian Thomas's monograph felicitously bridges a substantial gap in the study not only of the history of contemporary Polish music but also of the history of twentieth-century music more generally.. A particularly valuable feature ... is its documentary material. * Zbigniew Skowron *
a detailed work-by-work study by a leading expert who knows the composer, fleshed out with biographical details and useful appendices; there are copious music examples ... a highly detailed text which veers between analytical charts and more straightforward descriptive writing * Gramophone, September 1997 *
