Jerzy Waldorff
Jerzy Waldorff or Jerzy Waldorff-Preyss of the Nabram coat of arms (May 4,〔 1910 – December 29, 1999) was a Polish baron, an attorney by profession, a TV personality, writer, publicist, literary critic and a music aficionado. He wrote over 20 books, mostly on the subject of classical music and society, and was also named as an honorary citizen of both Warsaw and Słupsk. Waldorff had a relationship with the classical dancer Mieczysław Jankowski for 61 years.
==Biography==
Waldorff was born in Warsaw to a Polish landowner, Witold Preyss. His family moved first to Kościelna Wieś in the historical Kujawy region and then to Rękawczyn, north-west of Warsaw, where his father bought an estate after World War I. Waldorff spent his childhood there, in a manor house at the end of an avenue bordered with 100-year-old lime trees. He wrote later that the family left the estate and moved back to Warsaw soon after his father's death. He studied law at Poznań University.〔
Between 1936 and 1939 Waldorff worked as a music-review columnist for the ''Kurier Poranny'' newspaper. After the invasion of Poland by Nazi Germany he took part in organizing the clandestine music scene in occupied Warsaw. He was also active in the social support organization called Rada Główna Opiekuńcza (Central Welfare Council), the only cross-country network allowed to function legally under the German administration with some financial aid from the authorities. After the liberation, due to wartime annihilation of Warsaw, Waldorff settled in Kraków between 1946 and 1950, where he wrote for the popular magazine ''Przekrój''.〔
The long series of essays on music by Waldorff entitled ''Muzyka łagodzi obyczaje'' (Music Softens Manners) was published in Poland from 1959 in ''Świat'' weekly and from 1969 in ''Polityka'' news magazine for most of his professional life, though renamed as ''Uszy do góry'' (Prick Up Your Ears) after the Martial law. They were broadcast by Polskie Radio, and presented on TV. Waldorff organized the Festival of Polish Piano Music in Słupsk and the festival called ''Chopin w barwach jesieni'' (Chopin in Autumn Colors) in Antonin at the Hunting Palace of the Prince Radziwiłł family. In 1959 he co-founded the Critics Section of the Association of Polish Music Artists. He also contributed greatly to the establishment of the Karol Szymanowski Muzeum at the "Atma" Manor in Zakopane. In the 1960s Waldorff organized the radio fundraiser and donation drive for the Warsaw Museum of Theatre. In 1974 (or 1977, sources vary) he created the Committee for the Preservation of the Old Powązki Cemetery and served as its president until his death. He also wrote for leading periodicals.
