Real story of the really great musician Wladyslaw Szpilman,
By A Customer
This review is from: Szpilman - The Original Recordings of the Pianist (Audio CD)
I saw Polanski's "THE PIANIST" last weekend,was very impressed and wanted to learn more about the real hero of the movie. I searched online for his recordings. After two days I received two CD's from Amazon related to Wladyslaw Szpilman: One with his beautiful songs sung by Wendy Lands (wonderfully arranged, smooth, some jazzy, some kind of pop, very american-like music, which I love to hear in the mornings) and another one with his original recordings with his great classical interpretations - Chopin ( i.e. the Nocturne from the final scene of the movie ), Rachmaninoff, Bach and his own music - Concertino for Piano and Orchestra composed in the Warsaw Ghetto in a time of deepest repressions by the Germans (I was surprised how optimistic this music sounds). He was a great pianist and composer. After I learned his story through the movie, now I also got in touch with this man personally, through his artistry. Great feeling!!

This review is from: Szpilman - The Original Recordings of the Pianist (Audio CD)
The film 'The Pianist' led me to read Szpilman's own book, the true story depicted in the film. I was amazed that I could find original recordings of his piano playing. Inspirational.

This review is from: Szpilman - The Original Recordings of the Pianist (Audio CD)
I watched the film 'The Pianist' twice as it moved me greatly. Adrien Brody won an oscar for portraying this man who watched his entire immediate family put on a train for a German death camp. The heart of the film paradoxically is a scene of beauty transcending terror and deprivation when a German officer finds Szpilman in the building in Warsaw where he is hiding and on learning he is a pianist, orders him to play something. And he plays Chopin. The action pauses as the long piece sounds through the ruined grand salon of the once-handsome building played by a starving, frightened Szpilman for the Nazi officer. I later discovered it was still possible to get hold of original recordings by Szpilman. This is one. It includes some of his own compositions - quite energetic music. My favourite are the Chopin pieces, which I think he plays with great subtlety and sensitivity. His music somehow for me is inseparable from what he went through during the war.
