Krzysztof Baculewski

about

Krzysztof Baculewski (b 1950) is a Polish composer and musicologist. He studied composition under the direction of Witold Rudziński at the Warsaw Academy of Music and he graduated in 1974. Then he continued his studies in Vienna and in Paris, where he focused on composition and music analysis under Olivier Messiaen's direction, and studied electronic music at the Groupe de Recherches Musicales. As a composer Baculewski belongs to the generation that first came to national attention in mid-1970s. This group includes Rafał Augustyn, Andrzej Krzanowski, Eugeniusz Knapik, Krzysztof Knittel, Andrzej Lasoń, Elżbieta Sikora, Paweł Szymański and Lidia Zielińska. A formative function in the development of this generation was the Festival of Young Musicians for the Young City, held in Stalowa Wola. Knittel, Sikora and Wojciech Michniewski debuted as an electro-acoustic music collective, Grupa KEW. In contrast, Baculewski followed an individual path, initially revealing some French influences (Xenakis, Messiaen). His pieces have been praised for "subtlety of delicate texture" (Le Monde, 1982), and for being "dense and clear, blending tradition with postmodernism in a unique fashion" (Ruch Muzyczny, 1993). From 1979 to 1986 Baculewski lectured at the Musicology Institute of the Warsaw University. Since 1982 he has been an instructor at the Composition, Conducting and Theory Department in F. Chopin Academy of Music, Warsaw. In 1987 his book Polish Composers' Output 1945 - 84 was publish
