“My Life – Preisner’s Music is a live recording from a concert held in November 2024 in Bielsko-Biała, marking the occasion of Zbigniew Preisner receiving Honorary Citizenship of his hometown, Bielsko-Biała.   This year, on May 20th, Zbigniew Preisner will celebrate his 70th birthday, and the album is a gift he made to himself. 

The album includes 17 iconic themes composed by Zbigniew Preisner among others from Three Colours, Decalogue, The Secret garden, The Double Life Of Veronique, Damage, When A Man Loves A Woman, Eminent Domain, Aberdeen, Mouvements du Desir, Lost and Love and also Lacrimosa from Requiem for my Friend in the interpretation of Dominik Wania. 

Few words from Zbigniew Preisner:

“For years, I’ve been thinking about reducing my orchestral themes to a single instrument. As a composer, I pay special attention to melody—each of my compositions always has melodic themes.Ten years ago, I met Dominik Wania, now a jazz star and a brilliant pianist who records albums for ECM. I knew he was the perfect person to bring my idea to life.The concert you are about to listen to is the result of our collaboration, which has given me great satisfaction. Dominik Wania’s interpretation went beyond my wildest expectations. I hope you will enjoy the album.”
