Piano Music

Aleksander Tansman was a Polish composer of Jewish origin. Born in 1897, he became a French citizen in 1938. In the initial stage of his career, his compositions did not appeal to many Polish music critics. This was because Tansman’s music, like that of Karol Szymanowski, went beyond the narrow confines of a specific historical setting. Tansman’s works are presented on this new release by award-winning pianist Hanna Holeksa. (Dux)
