Hi,

Another composer that also won an OSCAR during his life for his soundtracks ... and he has a lot of albums of him doing solo piano, and the best known is probably his solo tour on piano playing the theme songs from so many films ... kinda makes you cry in some pieces.
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Hi,

Interesting choice ... some nice stuff, though so many of the films did not exactly gt shown in America, and a lot of the streaming services, STILL, are not up to par on international cinema ... they still go around saying that nobody reads subtitles, as if everyone that watches movies were not able to read!

Girl With a Pearl Earring
Eager Bodies
The Corsican File
Casanova (Hallstrom's)
Firewall
The Queen
Painted Veil
Lust, Caution
Julie & Julia
Coco Before Chanel
The Ghost Writer
Tamara Drewe
... a couple of Harry Potter films
Renoir
Venus in Fur
Fanny
Everything Will Be Fine
...
just to name a few of his films ...

This CD is OOP, but I lucked out and found a new copy for a great price. Thanks very much for posting this, Mort, as I'd never heard of it.

What comes to mind is the stirring piano intro work courtesy of Juergen Fritz on Triumvirat's Mister Ten Percent suite, side two of their album Illusions On A Double Dimple, recorded in 1973 and released in the spring of 74. There are other sections of that album that have beautiful piano in them, also.

An eerie effect put on the piano sound in a song dealing with the emotions surrounding Hiroshima.
