Wacław Niemczyk was a Polish violinist. He completed the Warsaw Music Conservatory, he also studied in Paris. He was awarded in a violin competition in Vienna in 1932 and in Wieniawski competition in Warsaw in 1935. In parallel, he also played lighter jazz music, travelling around Europe and recording for Syrena Record. He got married in 1935 to Danuta von Schenk. They were living together in Paris during 1935-1938. This recording must be coming from that time.
During WW2, he stayed in Warsaw. After the collapse of the Warsaw rise-up he played in front of Hans Frank, Nazi war criminal, which the Polish compatriots never forgave. In 1946 he abandoned his family and left for London. In the UK he married again with a pianist and aristocrat, Jean J. Morrell. He died in London in 1979.
