5.0 out of 5 stars A treasure for those who appreciate beautiful music., September 21, 1999

This review is from: Preisner's Music (Audio CD)

A beautiful collection of the haunting music of Preisner. Why this gentleman isn't widely known is beyond my comprehension. His Tango is a gem as is his music from Blue and The Double Life of Veronique. A must among collectors of sophisticated music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspirational, May 28, 2000

This review is from: Preisner's Music (Audio CD)

Insightfully beautiful, Preisner's Music is an album of a journey to discovery. The fine tunes and warming notes conjure images of a Sunday feast with loved ones. Joyous, dark, melancholic, and subdued, the myriad of contemplative moments allow the listener to momentarily feel Preisner's passion for life and sound, and to see through his eyes the splendour of a vast landscape that slowly unwinds. Preisner's Music is truly inspiriational.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hauntingly beautiful music., October 5, 1998

This review is from: Preisner's Music (Audio CD)

This is a choice of different pieces by the author of music to such movies like "Blue", "White","Red", and "Double life of Veronique" by the Polish director Krzysztof Kieslowski. The music has been recorded in a historic salt mine in Poland, called Wieliczka, with wonderful acoustics, and with accompanying choirs and soloists. The music is hauntingly beautiful. This CD covers not only film music by Preisner, but also some of his classical compositions.If you liked the music in Kieslowski's films, try that CD!
