Roman Polanski's telling of famed Polish composer-pianist Wladyslaw Szpilman's survival in the Nazi-controlled Warsaw ghetto can't help but be infused with the director's deepest passions: he himself escaped the Kraków ghetto as a boy of 7. The musician's status as a musical hero to the oppressed Polish Jews of World War II was surpassed only by that of Chopin, the composer who was at the core of Szpilman's repertoire. Thus this score revolves tightly around Chopin's music, with modern Polish pianist Janusz Olejniczak paying passionate homage to both his musical and national forebears, the haunting strains of the Nocturne in C-sharp Minor setting the film's historical and dramatic tone. The underscore of previous Polanski collaborator Wojciech Kilar (The Ninth Gate, Death and the Maiden) is represented here by the soulful "Moving to the Ghetto," a cue that helps anchor the soundtrack's troubling time and place with understated grace. The collection concludes with a rare, remastered performance of Chopin's Mazurka Op. 17, No.4 by Szpilman himself, recorded in Warsaw in 1948. --Jerry McCulley

Marvellous!.......2006-02-11

While being very familiar with the Holocaust and F. Chopin's work, I have to admit I had no idea who Wladyslaw Szpilman was. After watching Polanski's masterpiece of a movie, I'm glad that I got to know the life of a man who went through hell and managed to survive thanks to the courage and strength given to him by Chopin's music that he constantly played in his head under surreal circumstances.

"The Pianist" music soundtrack is a wonderful collection of Chopin's piano works. Of course a few masterpieces of the polish great composer have been left out, but I think that's more than understable. After all, Polanski needed certain pieces that connected best with some of the images and scenes of his movie. And in the end we all agree that he certainly pulled it off.

Before watching the movie, I didn't know who Janusz Olejniczak was either. Now I do. His Chopin is really marvellous, especially the "Nocturne in C-sharp Minor", "La grande Polonaise brillante" and "Nocturne in E Minor Op. 72 No 1". Getting to know Olejniczak's Chopin is yet another reason to be thankful to Polanski.

Absolutely beautiful.......2006-01-30

While not versed in the finer aspects of classical music or their composers as other reviewers on this page are, I like to think of myself as someone who appreciates classical music and the Pianist soundtrack is classical music at its best.

Being half-Polish, I heard of Frederic Chopin through the years but was never told of him or his beautiful - if somewhat sad - music (I learned much about Beethoven, my favorite composer, though). I was cheated but feel that I have caught up for lost time with this soundtrack.

My favorite track is "Nocturne in E Minor, Op. 72, No. 1." It's four and a half minutes of pure bliss. Kudos to Janusz Olejniczak for playing beyond beautiful piano (he's not a concert pianist for no reason, eh?).

The Pianist is one of the best movie soundtracks of all time. The movie was powerful (unlike *other* directors who made Holocaust films, Roman actually lived through that black period in human history, making it a cut above the rest), the book was moving and the soundtrack is great relaxation.

one word beautiful.......2005-11-08

Excellent and very beautiful. The Grand Polonaise in E flat major fantastic.

Felt the movie,now feel the music that truly inspires.........2005-05-29

The Pianist is a great and "fantaztisch" movie itself! Note the great actors Adrien Brody and Thomas Kretschmann. Now, how would the movie be without the music itself that inspired and still inspiring thousands of people who listened to it.

All the piano works are classical and have a story of it's own.
From the Nocturnes; sad, moving and played on the first part of the movie (yes, the intro) and when the jews are fighting and facing their nightmares.
To Ballade 1 & 2, which was played by Spilzman (adrien brody) in that movie when he met up with the german officer Hosenfeld (thomas kretschmann)..

Just by listening to the soundtrack you could already see and feel the whole movie. Especially the Nocturnes... very touching.. recommending this album to those who fell in love to the piano works in the movie like i was, just by listening it for the first time! :)

A Too-Easily Dismissed Artist.......2005-05-09

A previous reviewer considerately corrected others who are perhaps not as well versed as he is about classical music. That reviewer also quite cavalierly dismissed the playing of Janusz Olejniczak, chiefly it appears because this is a movie soundtrack.
A number of eminent pianists - Rubinstein, Bolet, Moravec, Ax, among many others - have recorded movie soundtracks. And, like them, Olejniczak has recorded a great deal more. For instance, his albums for the Opus 111 label, which also recorded Sokolov, should be sampled by all lovers of Chopin, if only because Olejniczak can be heard playing on one record an Erard piano from Chopin's time, and on another an even more remarkable Pleyel. It's fascinating to find the Erard really does have what Chopin called a "ready-made" tone; the Pleyel by comparison is a revelation.
But then so it the playing of Olejniczak. He was not discovered by Roman Polanski. Olejniczak was a prize-winner of the Warsaw Chopin competition at the age of 18. He is greatly respected in his native Poland and in Japan, which both know something about great Chopin playing.
Olejniczak is a forceful artist who nevertheless never pounds; one frequently is put in mind of how Chopin envied the powerful way Liszt played his etudes. Olejniczak's Polish "accent" is, of course, entirely appropriate for Chopin, as is his wonderful voicing of chords and sure but free rhythm. Olejniczak plays with a full-throated lyricism -- it is the Bellini of "Norma" rather than "Sonnambula" -- but the pianist can also be touchingly tender. Above all he is dramatic in the fullest sense, vividly characterizing each piece. It's easy to see why Polanski and other film directors have been drawn to him. Chopin clearly is Olejniczak's life blood.
That previous reviewer may sincerely prefer such very different musicians, one to the other, as Rachmaninoff, Rubinstein, Cortot and Argerich, but I hope no one will hold it against Olejniczak (who, by the way, I don't know personally -- no special pleading here!) simply because he is not as widely known as some other pianists. He is a genuine find, and Polanski should be thanked for sharing a superb talent with a wider public.

Love Destruction!!!.......2006-08-14

If you really like this band this cd is a must, but if I wasn't a fan I'd maybe not take another chance on Warrior Soul, though Love Destruction is probobly the best song they ever wrote. Punk & Belligerent is a perfect drinking song.

Pushes towards the four star mark.......2006-07-19

Warrior Soul, vehicle of Kory Clarke who would hold an (unloaded)gun to his head at times during live gigs and who gave good quote to music journalists, were on the verge of a breakthrough with this and their other releases. But never quite got there.

The tracks here are almost uniform in their anti government stance. Govt in general but especially the US Republican Party. Of couse when you present then imminent downfall of society which WS seem to be doing here, then your really up against it - after all panic merchants have been on about the end of society since the year dot!

WS on this album use a variety of ways of getting their point cross. From outright rockers like Love Destruction to the slowburn of Dimension the band are able to nag away at the listener, drawing them into a hypnotic swirl of guitar riffery.

Gripes would be partly gut feeling regarding the band and musical. Firstly the way Clarke was portrayed as some some of intellectual with the utmost integrity. This is the guy who faxed a heap of copies of the front page of an article to his record company. The headline in question was 'the year punk broke'. And why was Clarke doing this - well the poor dear had tried to get his record company to sign his post WS project which was a punk band and Clarke had figured that punk was going to be the next big thing. And by the record company not going for it he'd missed the gravy train that was pop punk in the 90's. Integrity my backside...

Musically the gripes would be that the album is a bit of a downer with it's constant whining and portrayal of doom and gloom. Having said that the album is musically cleverly constructed with direct and simple delivery of high brow and politically charged lyrics. Truth be told though Clarkes vocals aren't all that engaging or expressive so it does tend to stand or fall on how engaged you are by his anti govt rant.

Huge points for not being a corporate sellout. At least not at this point. And certainly a band on a mission to try to educate people to their way of thinking. Thought provoking stuff in parts and certainly direct in it's messages.

Warrior Soul - 'Salutations From The Ghetto Nation' (Geffen).......2004-12-02

This was the band's third effort.'Salutations...',I think sounds more rounded out as well as a bit more upbeat than their first two CD's,although they were good too.I've liked every disc put out by this group.The social issues and political [...] is very much still intact.As for the tracks that more than makes this a choice title to keep in your music collection are the title cut "Ghetto Nation","Love Destruction",the [...] "Blown" and "Trip Rider". Overall,just a good heavy rock catalog release.Only regret I have is I never got to see vocalist Kory Clarke and crew play live.Worth checking out.

You've Made Us Very Angry.........Very Angry!!!!!!!!!!.......2004-07-30

This is an album of people who should belong in anger management. The group definitely matured from the first 2 outtings, and to me it was what they needed. A good swift kick as now they cranked out one of the angriest albums out there. It even rivals with Anthrax's "Persistence Of Time". It kicks off with "Love Destruction", and I should say it pounds off because it's ferocious. "Party and Beligerent" is I believe a cover of a underground punk group of the 70's, but it's raising Cain right here. The crescendo actually occurs on the title track which is the last song on the cd. From the mindsplitting guitar riff to the angriest vocals out there it's just full of rage, and this released shortly before Clinton was innaugurrated. Well anyway... this was thier pinnacle as thier next album "Chill Pill" bombed, and then they disappeared.

"I LIVE ON IN WORLD WAR III".......2003-12-12

This album truly was a masterpiece of political despair and anger. Why it is not given it's proper respects I do not know. Just buy the album and experience the music for yourself. If you have never heard this album you will most likely walk away with a new outlook on the environment around you.

Wasn't Feeling It........2005-09-24

Its safe to say that you're an ATL fan if you bought this album. And if you're an ATL fan, then you're probably going to be a little dissapointed by this release. I would say this album is more like 2 and a half stars as opposed to three, and it doesn't really come close to the level of "Executive Decisions" solo album release prior to "Live from the Ghetto." This album feels like "Forver Rich Thugs"; I wasn't feeling that album either.

Edit 30 July 2007: Crazy Jim is right on about this album - I used to respect you is easily the best song on this largely forgetable album, and one of the best songs in ATLs library.

"Live From The Ghetto" Review.......2004-12-14

Whether he's "Cold 187" or "Big Hutch", Gregory Hutchinson has been regarded by many as one of the most underrated producers on the West Coast rap scene. The producer and frontman for Above The Law has dropped classic gems like "Livin' Like Hustlers" and "Uncle Sam's Curse" with his group but they have never been able to mantain a following. Big Hutch's second solo, "Live From The Ghetto" doesn't really do the veteran producer much justice. The very same guy who blessed us with the amazing "Black Superman" in 1994 seems a little uninspired on the production tip these days. Aside from the laid-back "I Used To Respect You", this album doesn't do much for me. Maybe I was expecting more here but I can't help but feel unimpressed by "Live From The Ghetto".

Return of the Real .......2004-08-19

Finally, a new release from the camp of legendary west coast rappers Above The Law. This album refreshes the scene with the same hard, g-funk sound that Hutch and ATL originated. Hutch is top notch when it comes to producing, so you can expect a quality effort when he has his hand in it. This album is no different. Solid solo follow up album to Executive Decisions. There are a couple tracks that he tried something innovative, with different results. All said and done, the album is still bumpin'. "Gutta" is classic. This is how the REAL west coast puts it down. Check out this album.

STILL THAT NIGGA.......2004-07-31

THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST ALBUM OUT IN THE STREET . IF WE SUPPORT ARE PEEPS WEST COAST RAPPER HE WOULD BE UP THERE WITH SNOOP DOG !! HIS FLOW IS OUT OF THIS WORLD HE KEEP YOU GROOVING LIKE KNOW OTHER! HOT ALBUM!!!

Good album, not as good as his group work with above the law.......2004-06-29

This is a tight ass album. Get it now, you wont be dissapointed. 187 is still very consistent on putting out good solo albums but its not quite as hype as the Above the law albums they've put out. Almost every song on this album is worth bumpin. I like that he had KMG and K-OSS on a few tracks and that shows that there will most likely be another Above the Law release in the future. Any true original g-funk fan should go get this album along with his last solo release "Executive Decisions". Tight album Hutch.

Though best known for his film scores, John Williams also has to his credit numerous orchestral works and concertos for string and wind instruments, which were often tailored to specific players. One of these is TreeSong, composed and premiered in 2000 by its dedicatee, the splendid violinist Gil Shaham. Clearly written to his strengths, it exploits Shaham's brilliant technique with two cadenzas and lots of fast passages, which display his sumptuous, beautiful tone in warm, singing melodies and its silvery radiance in long stretches in the highest register. The piece begins and ends in dreamy languor. It is full of sound effects, but despite an explanatory note by the composer, its connection to the ancient tree that inspired it is not perceptible to the naked ear. The orchestrations are inventive and colorful, and both here and in the Concerto, written in 1974 and revised in 1998, there are substantial, massive orchestral interludes, while the solo passages are carefully scored for maximal transparency. The Concerto is somewhat reminiscent of Prokofiev, especially in the angularity of the fast sections and the shimmering stratospheric ones. It is dedicated to Williams's late wife, but only the end of the slow movement has an elegiac air, then the orchestra leads into the Finale with all stops out. The Three Pieces from Schindler's List are well known. Shaham, though he slides a lot in keeping with the style and quasi-Jewish idiom, plays them with great feeling but so much nobility that the lamentatiousness never becomes cheap or sentimental. --Edith Eisler

Customer Reviews:

It's not supposed to sound like Star Wars.......2005-02-28

If you're not familiar with any of John Williams' concert music, may the listener beware. It sounds nothing like his film scores. It is dissonant, and often difficult to listen to. But it is usually a rewarding experience. What it lacks in melodic themes, it makes up for in colorful orchestations and moments of striking beauty. The third movement of Treesong is a good example of this. It begins on a note that seems out of place, but eventually resolves.
Not everything can or should sound like Star Wars. Film music, by its very nature requires a differnet kind of writing. There is certainly room for Williams to write concert music in a modernistic style that departs from the Wagnerian influence of his movie scores. Oh well. If you prefer his soundtracks check out Close Encounters of the Third Kind; now thats pretty modern!

Shaham's Playing is Fine, But...........2002-12-30

Diehard fans of John Williams's music will certainly want to acquire this CD, but fans of Gil Shaham's playing may not be disappointed either. Shaham's performances demonstrate much of the passionate lyricism I've heard from him elsewhere, shown to good effect in these three John Williams pieces. Unfortunately, the most successful is the concert suite from the "Schindler's List" score; the other works sound more like ill-fated efforts at conjuring Webern's, Schoenberg's, or even Boulez's music, than significant violin works belonging to the current modern musical canon. The Boston Symphony Orchestra is in fine form too, especially in the "Schindler's List" suite.

weak music, for the most part.......2002-04-05

...this CD is simply not very good music. I have the utmost respect for Williams' film scores (regardless of perhaps legitimate claims that much of his themes and motifs fall just short of plagiarism of earlier music). But he seems to have saved ideas from the bottom of the barrel for his concertpieces. This is not the Korngold Concerto, in which a beloved film composer has written an excellent work in sweeping, cinematic style. Williams' violin concerto drags on interminably, with little of any real interest contained within. Treesong is somewhat better, largely due to the more interesting orchestrational color, but the work is still not on par with Williams' film music. Shaham's always-fine playing is the only thing that makes either piece bearable. The addition of music from Schindler's List, one of Williams' best scores, is helpful, but too little too late. Skip this disc (and his equally dreary Five Sacred Trees). Buy the Star Wars soundtrack. You can't go wrong there.

Film = Modern Opera.......2002-02-24

Think about it Jose, film is our modern-day opera. Opera was "pop music" 1-2 hundred years ago. People say we have no major modern classical composers...in fact the MEDIUM has changed.

Unique Sound Worlds.......2001-11-21

As a life-long fan of Williams' film music, I have only recently discovered his more "serious" pieces. Like many versatile composers before him (think Korngold, Waxman, etc.), Williams is able to function in both worlds, writing rousing, effective scores and introspective, yet extremely dynamic works for concerto and orchestra. Treesong, in particular, is a masterful evocation of the wonders of nature, though many might not find any obvious signs of "nature" in the music. Williams chooses to evoke an altogether different environment, relying less on derivative new-agey techniques than the musings of a solo instrument as it encounters a strange and fantastic realm of "trunks, branches, and leaves." The sound world Williams conjures up is completely original in my mind and bears his distinctive stamp (as does his other piece for trees, Five Sacred Trees). The earlier Violin Concerto is from the same stylistic world, yet seems to probe deeper into personal emotions, with a profoundly melodic core. While Bartok's Violin Concerto can be seen behind it, it, too, is an extremely unique piece and only grows with repeated listenings. The addition of three pieces from Schindler's List was charming and highly appropriate, especially as a means of showing of Gil Shaham's talent.
In short, a wonderful disc that does justice to the seemingly inexaustible talents of John Williams, one of our most brilliant and remarkable composers. 5 stars.

Decatur, GA.......2005-07-28

Ghetto Mafia's third album, Straight From The Dec, is a display of Nino and Wicked's grind for nationwide success. The album's spotlight, "For The Good Times (Straight From The Dec)", with a blues sample and the Mafia stop and go flow is an instant eye opener. They also take a Jamican, Reggae-like approach with a heavy bassline on "Who Wanna Test". Hearing the name 'Wicked' being yelled out almost works as a gimmick. The duo tag team on a verse for the gangster funk "I Can Feel It" and could have been used throught the song. Straight From The Dec starts off with and maintains it's high expectations from the opener "In Da Paint". The Mafia talk about their hustling and struggles being in the 'trap' as done on "Fool I Got Ya " and many other subjects within this lp. Their lyrics are direct and simple with a southern slang that are strong enough to keep your attention.

Straight from the Dec is too tight!.......2000-03-19

This album contains some of the phattest lyrics I have ever heard by Ghetto Mafia, it is also one of my favorites. I always said that nobody could stop Ghetto Mafia's Blues Rap combination and my point is proven with every album they bring out.

I saw the video for the single "For the good times" and i liked it so i thought i would pick it up.This cd is great.Every song on here is tight and makes you want to play it over and over.This group might not be a big name around the country but you cant beat this cd!

Extremely tight! Everyone should buy this CD, no doubt........1999-01-28

On the real, this CD is extreme. People that don't like rap would prob like this CD. It's got tha phattest lyrics around. Buy it y'all.
