Iancu Dumitrescu (born July 15, 1944 in Sibiu ) is a Romanian composer .

Life

Iancu Dumitrescu was the son of the mathematician Maria Dumitrescu and the philosopher Gheorghe T. Dumitrescu. His father was arrested for political reasons in 1949 and was only released after Stalin's death. From 1964 to 1969 Dumitrescu studied at the Ciprian Porumbescu Conservatory . Since the mid-1960s he worked as a music critic, including for the magazine of the Romanian composers' union Luceafărul and for the radio. In 1976 he founded the Hyperion Ensemble , which he led with his wife Ana-Maria Avram and which has since gained an important place in contemporary Romanian music.

From 1978 he was a student of Sergiu Celibidache in Munich. Here he also got to know Edmund Husserl's phenomenology , which he refers to as the philosophical basis of his experimental composition methods. Dumitrescu composed over 130 works. His music is described as acousmatic and spectralistic .
