MocArty RMF Classic Awards – nomination for Krzysztof Penderecki
Krzysztof Penderecki was nominated by Radio RMF Classic listeners for the MocArty RMF Classic 2012 Award in the Man of the Year 2012 category.
Penderecki was appreciated “For his constant readiness for experimentation in music and for the “Penderecki/Greenwood” project (Nonesuch, 2012), as well as for consistence and persistence, which enabled him to complete the construction of the European Music Centre in Lusławice. A 20th- and 21st-century classic who doesn’t stand on the pedestal!”
