Album Description
Zbigniew Preisner visits "The Beautiful Country"
Zbigniew Preisner visits "The Beautiful Country"
The film marks the second successful collaboration between composer Zbigniew Preisner and director Hans Petter Moland, following their previous experience on "Aberdeen" (2000). It is to the musical territory of this film that Preisner's returns, with similar orchestrations and a distinct harmonic language deftly tackling continued themes of abandonment, loss, and reunion.
Recorded in Warsaw, in 2003, the composer's uplifting music is performed by the Orkiestra Radiowas under the baton of Michal Nalecz Nieziolowski. Alongside recognisable contrapuntal traits, Preisner's music features eclectic instrumental pairings and ethnic timbres – with much use made of his idiomatic writing for the African Kalimba.
About the Artist
Often cited as one of the most outstanding film composers of his generation, Polish-born Preisner is intenationally-recognised for his work with director Krzysztof Kieslowski and script-writer Krzysztof Piesiewicz on "Dekalog", "The Double Life of Veronique", and the "Three Colours" trilogy. In dedication to Kieslowski's memory, his work "Requiem for my friend" – written for recording and live performance – received its world premiere at the Teatr Wielki, Warsaw on October 1, 1998. Zbigniew Preisner is a two-time Golden Globe® Award nominee. He is also the recipient of two Cesars from the French Film Academy, a Silver Bear from the Berlin Film Festival in 1997, and three L.A. Critics Association Awards over consecutive years for Most Outstanding Composer of Film Music.
