5.0 out of 5 stars The Color of Perfection....Red, September 28, 2003

This review is from: Red: Bande Originale Du Film (Audio CD)

This review refers to the "Trois Couleurs - Rouge" CD(MK2/Virgin Records).....

The final act of Krzystof Kieslowski's beautiful trilogy is "Red". The music of this trilogy,composed by Zbigniew Preisner,is as much a part of these stories as the actors themselves.Preisner did much of the composing for Kieslowski's films, and he never fails to capture the essence of the story and the characters with his exquiste music. And in "Red", the ultimate story of a chance meeting that may change the lives of those involved, we find the best was saved for last.

In "Blue" and "White" most of the tracks were very short, with the music flowing from one scene to the next. In "Red" most of the tracks(16 in all) are a bit longer. Bookended by two astounding vocals,'Milsoc Od Pierwszego Wejrzenia' sung by Zbigniew Zamachowski, and 'L'amour Au Premier Regard', sung by Jean-Louis Murat,you'll be drawn in to the drama and emotion of
the entire story depicted so beautifully in every track in between.(See the buying info on the product page for a complete list of songs)

The orchestrations are a delight to listen to, the Bolero theme is heard throughout, the solos outstanding and on tracks 8 and 13,'Do Not Take Another Man's Wife I and II'( the Van Den Budenmayer music),Elzbieta Towarnicka will mesmerize you with her superb soprano voice.

The music is the epitome of perfection.It may be enjoyed, whether or not you have seen these films.If you haven't seen them, you will want to after listening to this and if you have you can relive all the wonderful moments with this CD. The CD is an excellent quality, put it on your stereo and feel the drama.

enjoy....Laurie

5.0 out of 5 stars Moving, September 12, 2000

EriKa "E" (Iceland) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Red: Bande Originale Du Film (Audio CD)

The CD is almost as moving as the film and serves as a perfect complement to it. Preisner creates moving, sweeping soundtracks that are unobtrusive but absolutely central to the films. Of course, particularly in the case of the film Bleu (the main character being the widow of a famed composer), this is true. Music, though, ties these films together and allows the viewer (and listener) to feel completely in tune with the film and its intricacies. Of note, the song "Love at First Sight" sung in Polish by the star of Blanc, Zbigniew Zamachowski. The song starts out very quietly and builds to a desperate intensity. My favourite part of the CD...

5.0 out of 5 stars An experience as extraordinary as the film!, March 9, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Red: Bande Originale Du Film (Audio CD)

The soundtrack to Keislowski's Red is just as beautiful and haunting as the film. Some of Zbigniew Preisner's best work is here on this soundtrack, from the chilling violins of "Psychoanalysis" to the absolutely breathtaking "Finale" and "Fashion Show." This CD is a great way to relive the film. All of Preisner's work is wonderful, but Red stands out as a masterpiece!
