Ten Easy Pieces for Piano
Composed by Zbigniew Preisner
with Leszek Mozdzer
Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
In the 1990s Zbigniew Preisner became well known for his beautiful scores for the films of Krzysztof Kieslowski, especially The Double Life of Veronique and the "Colours Trilogy" introduced by Three Colours Blue. Following Kieslowski's death Preisner transformed the music for their most recent project into the beautiful choral work, Requiem for my Friend. As the composer says: "the question to be answered is whether those of us who are left have...enough strength to say, 'Now it is our time. Now look at us.' Do we have enough talent..." For answer Preisner has chosen the intimate voice of single piano. In the excellent accompanying booklet he acknowledges the influence of Keith Jarrett's Köln Concert, and pays due homage with a comparable sound and style. Apart from playing on many Preisner soundtracks, Leszek Mozdzer is an acclaimed jazz pianist noted for his Chopin Impressions, and here offers concentrated and controlled improvisation on simple yet melodically engaging material. Ten Easy Pieces for Piano is an elegantly fluid album with an attractively atmospheric sound; easier to enjoy than to classify, it should find equal favour with classical, jazz and film music audiences. As for Preisner's question, discerning listeners have long been positive about the answer. --Gary S Dalkin
