Zbigniew Preisner

Zbigniew Preisner is a Polish composer from Bielsko-Biała who began his career in the 1980s composing film scores and concert pieces within the contemporary classical and film-music genres. His work combines neo-romantic orchestral writing with sparse, often choral textures and minimalist influences, and over time he has expanded from film scoring into concert works and operatic projects closely tied to European art-house cinema.
