About Alexandre Tansman

Alexandre Tansman, a Franco-Polish musical virtuoso born in Łódź, Poland in 1897, left an indelible mark on the 20th-century classical music scene. A prolific composer, pianist, and conductor, Tansman's work spanned a wide range of styles, from impressionism to neoclassicism. After studying at the Łódź Conservatory, he made France his home in 1938, becoming a naturalized French citizen. Tansman's piano concertos of 1926 and 1927 earned him widespread acclaim, and his final composition, a brief yet poignant piece for viola and piano, was completed just before his passing in Paris in 1986. His extensive discography, including the comprehensive "Piano Music" album, offers a captivating journey through his eclectic and innovative musical legacy.
