‘Woven words’ is the English translation of the title of Lutosławski’s composition Paroles tissées. It's also the motto of what is the most spectacular foreign project celebrating the Polish composer’s birth centenary.
Listen to the report, with comments and praise from the orchestra’s Principal Conductor Eka-Pekka Salonen, British musicologist Adrian Thomas and music critic Agata Kwiecińska.
