Alexandre Tansman was one of the most important Polish composers of the 20th century. He enjoyed an excellent reputation as a composer, conductor and pianist. His guitar works, mostly commissioned for Andrés Segovia, were an important element of his compositional output. Tomasz Zawierucha would like to express his sincere gratitude to Marianne Tansman, the composer's daughter, for providing him with the master's manuscripts. In these interpretations Zawierucha has always tried, within the limits of technical feasibility, to keep to the original version of the works without editorial changes.
Tomasz Zawierucha has been teaching at the Franz Liszt University of Music Weimar and the Vorarlberg State Conservatoire, Austria. He is also a "Visiting Artist at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland" in Glasgow. In 2014 Tomasz Zawierucha was appointed Professor for Guitar at the Folkwang University of the Arts in Essen, Germany. © ARS-Produktion
