This review is from: Aberdeen (Original Film Soundtrack) (Audio CD)

Preisner's scoring for films have been very successful with "The Double Life Of Veronika"---and three albums of scores for "Three Colours Blue, White and Red", some reaching Platinum CD status by Poland's musical standards...another outstanding score was "The Last September", based on a novel by Elizabeth Bowen and brought to the screen by director Hector Babenco, beautiful and compelling music---and the unforgettable Agnieszka Holland's "Secret Garden".

Let us look at the soundtrack at hand---"ABERDEEN", from writer/director Hans Petter Moland finds our characters on the road to Aberdeen in Scotland...storyline is between father and daughter regarding their reconciliation as the prepare to visit her dying mother...the big surprise is her father may not really be her father.

Preisner captures the tone and mood of Moland's screenplay, with piano solo(Leszek Mozdzer) of a lingering theme, interwoven at times with the voice of Stina Nordenstam...create feelings of dreamlike drifting...mesmerizing counter-melodies featuring John Parricelli(guitar)...completely enters your body and soul.

If you enjoyed this album, why not try other Preisner releases on Silva Screen ~ "The Last September"(SILKD-6027)..."Dekalog"(SILKD-6029), all worthy of a good listen.

Total Time: 41:14 on 17 Tracks ~ Silva Screen Records SILKD-6028 ~ (2001)
