Average Rating: Rating: - Beautiful music that is the soul of the film The Pianist soundtrack is a wonderful collection of Chopin's songs that accurately and effectively reflect the songs Szpilman played during one of the most tumultuous times in history. Though only one song is authentically performed by Szpilman, the songs played by Janusz Olejniczak genuinely project Szpilman's emotion with his musical interpretation. His interpretation of the music appropriately fits the film's pathos to its greatest potential through musical elements of crescendos, decrescendos and tempo changes. Szpilman's emotion and passion for music are fully realized in one of the most poignant scenes of the movie, when he plays his heart out for the SS officer to prove he was and still is a pianist. This not only is a great starter collection for those who are not familiar with Chopin's music, but is also a vehicle for us to transcend ourselves back to this heart-felt and truly moving film. Rating: - Yesterday's holocaust and todays...music to grieve with.... The element of music, which at times parallels the sense of absolute heart-break perfectly, can only resonate with us as we viewed the film with a sense of "deja vu"....watching the suffering of those who were segregated, seized, humiliated, starved, oppressed,and killed-- with Chopin in the background --as military tanks moved in to fire at ghetto buildings with resistence fighters inside, being blown away...the reason that Nuremberg trials happened--and its all happening again; this time by those who were oppressed now become the mighty oppressors. Is this Polanski sending an alarm? warning? I wept with the sense that "never again" really meant "never US again"...Chopin Nocturnes were a perfect backdrop.... Rating: - Expressive, emotional... I've never reviewed anything on Amazon until now. This beautiful soundtrack of the movie, The Pianist, is simply amazing. All the songs are of Frederic Chopin, except track 10. The nocturnes (meaning "night song") in this soundtrack are filled with mystery, melancholy, remorse and even romance. Roman Polanski couldn't have found a better pianist, Janusz Olejniczak to honor Wladyslaw Szpilman and Frederic Chopin. The ballades are very uplifting, despite the darkness of the movie. However, track 10 ("Moving to the Ghetto") is the only song in this soundtrack that I didn't like. It was too "Schindler's List" for me... very randomly placed in a soundtrack of Chopin. Then, there is "Mazurka in A Minor" played by Wladyslaw Spzilman himself. It may not be the clearest recording (sounds radio-like) but it is very beautiful and enchanting to listen to Spzilman playing the piano. As a pianist, I thoroughly enjoy this soundtrack, even though I've yet to see the film. This score stirs the soul.
