The addition of the orchestral players and chorus makes for the perfect combination on this album, heard best in the suite titled "Beginning" that occupies tracks ten through twelve. Eerie saxophone solos and singular female vocals are accompanied by swelling performances by the full orchestra, providing for gripping romantic sounds.
The piece "Love" in particular is the all-too-short highlight of the entire production. Between that cue and the massive title theme presented in the latter half of "Meeting" truly a full ensemble piece , there's a touch of Ennio Morricone in this music, especially in the handling of the chorus and solo voices. Although the requiem was the primary performance of this dedicational album, the following concert section is the highlight.
The "Life" concert arrangement has several moments of grand choral and orchestral style, and these final thirty-seven minutes will most likely satisfy any enthusiast of dark, mystical, and thematically gripping choral music. The release by Erato Records, a division of Warner and Atlantic Records, is beautifully produced, with notes about Preisner and the music, as well as lyrics to the vocal performances. The insert includes notes from Zbigniew Preisner about the concerts. An excerpt is included below: "Once, we had a joint conception to create a concert telling a life story.
The premiere was planned to take place on the Acropolis in Athens. It was intended to be a large event, a hybrid of a mystery play and an opera. Krzysztof Kieslowski would be the director, Krzysztof Piesiewicz was responsible for the script, and I was planning to compose the music. Once, we thought it might be the first of a series of musical performances, to be developed in various interesting places around the world in the next few years.
But it was life that authored a different ending: Krzysztof Kieslowski died on 13th March The first part of Requiem for my friend is meant as a farewell to Krzysztof Kieslowski. I dedicate this music to him. All rights reserved. The reviews and other textual content contained on the filmtracks. Red Notice 2. The King's Man 3. The Matrix Resurrections 4.
