Zbigniew Preisner (born 1955) - composer of theatre and film music and songs. For many years he has been associated with the well-known Cracovian cabaret Piwnica Pod Baranami. He made his international fame with his music to Kieślowski's 'Ten Commandments' (1989), 'Three Colours' (1993, 1994) and 'The Double Life of Veronique' (1991), for which he received an Oscar nomination. He has worked with Agnieszka Holland on 'Europa, Europa' (1990), 'The Secret Garden' (1994), and with many French and American directors.
