Listening Through The Dictionary of Composers and Their Music
Alexander Tansman (1897-1986)
Bio
Alexander Tansman was born in Łódź, Poland. He studied at the Lodz Conservatory and then at Warsaw. He emigrated to France and was drawn to the music of Ravel, Stravinsky, Milhaud, and Honegger. The latter two attempted to recruit him into Les Six but he remained an independent early example of neoclassical thought. He eventually became a naturalized French citizen, did a world tour, and was given the Order of the Arts and the Letters by the French Academy.
