He became a prominent figure in Danish music, performing with the Danish Broadcasting Orchestra and recording significant works, including Wieniawski's Second Concerto and Bartók’s Sonata for Solo Violin. His collaborations with pianist Esther Vagning and other musicians produced memorable recordings of works by composers like Riisager and Franck.

Throughout his career, Tworek toured extensively, performing in countries such as England, Norway, Sweden, France, the USA, and Greenland. He was also a prolific recording artist, capturing both classical and popular repertoire on numerous records during the 1940s and 1950s. Tworek's contributions to music were recognized with awards such as the Peder Møller Prize in 1945.

Wandy Tworek passed away on November 22, 1990, in Sønder Stenderup near Kolding, Denmark, leaving behind a legacy as a celebrated violinist and entertainer. His recordings continue to be cherished for their warmth, technical skill, and the unique blend of classical and popular styles.
