Bryce Dessner's Réponse Lutos awski was c o-commissioned by the National Audiovisual Institute of Poland and the Mexico National Orchestraand first performed by the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra at Teatr Wielki-Polish National Opera in Warsaw Poland on November 29 2014. Composer's Note: Réponse Lutos awski was written as an homage to Witold Lutos awski’s amazing composition for string orchestra Musique funèbre. I spent months studying the score and recordings of the work as well as many of his other pieces. This was an amazingprocess of discovering one of the 20th-centuries great musical minds and allowing his adventurous spirit to influence my own musical decisions. My Réponse Lutos awski is written in five movements each of which isinspired either directly or indirectly by the Lutos awski score. I like to think that his music opened a window in a certain direction for me or pushed open a door through which I could then pass and take my journey with themusic. Duration: Approximately 20 minutes
