The fact that he was born in Lodz, Poland, where my great-grandparents also came from, spurred me on to find out more about him, and since then I have been assiduously collecting his piano works &#8211; quite a task as it turns out that in the course of his long composing career Tansman was nothing if not prolific!&#8221; <\/em>says Margaret Fingerhut.<\/p>\n<p>Well known for her recordings with British music, Margaret Fingerhut has performed in many different countries and has become well-known for her innovative recital programmes which combine popular and unusual repertoire. As a concerto soloist she has played with all the UK\u2019s major orchestras, working with eminent conductors such as Vernon Handley, Rudolf Barshai, Leonard Slatkin, Paul Daniel and Sir Edward Downes, and performing in venues such as the Royal Festival Hall, Royal Albert Hall and the Barbican. Margaret\u2019s extensive discography for Chandos has received worldwide critical acclaim and is regularly played on international radio networks. Her discs include works by Bax, Berkeley, Bloch, Dukas, Falla, Grieg, Howells, Leighton, Novak, Stanford and Suk. Many have been selected as the Gramophone\u2019s Critics\u2019 Choice, and two of her Bax recordings were nominated for Gramophone awards. She is often heard on BBC Radio 3 and Classic FM, and she has also appeared on film and television.<\/p>\n<p>Also listen to Margaret Fingerhut playing Milly Balakirev\u00b4s Toccata in c sharp minor:<\/p>\n<p><object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"445\" height=\"364\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" \/><param name=\"src\" value=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/kncL2q1y--Y&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999&amp;border=1\" \/><embed type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"445\" height=\"364\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/kncL2q1y--Y&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999&amp;border=1\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.arkivmusic.com\/classical\/albumList.jsp?name_id1=13714&amp;name_role1=2&amp;bcorder=2\" target=\"_blank\">List of recordings by Margaret Fingerhut.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chandos has been attentive in promoting the orchestral works of Alexandre Tansman, who due to the vagaries of fashion has to a great extent been ignored.
