	The Pianist (2002)
		The grizzly reality feeling of the movie shell-shocked me in the first place but later on I recognized the pure feeling of the film: The horror what war does with innocent people truly is. the main story isn't about a war hero, but about people who don't want to die in this madness.
		the classical tunes had such an enormous impact on me and portrayed the feelings of the main role of the pianist.
		The fact that there are no hero's in a war movie is for me more than a welcome benefit.

		The Pianist - Wladyslaw Szpilman - Holocaust Survivor from the Warsaw Ghetto
		The dignity of the pianist's manner has infinitely more impact if you know that this is the piece he was playing when Polish Radio was destroyed by the Nazis and that he returned to five years later, after the Nazis had been destroyed.
		Szpilman, a talented Jewish pianist and composer, witnessed first-hand the horrors of the Warsaw ghetto.

	Piano - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sensitive pedaling is one of the techniques a pianist must master, since piano music from Chopin onwards tends to benefit from extensive use of the sustaining pedal, both as a means of achieving a singing tone and as an aid to legato.
		The rare transposing piano, of which Irving Berlin possessed an example, uses the middle pedal as a clutch which disengages the keyboard from the mechanism, enabling the keyboard to be moved to left or right with a lever.
		A large number of composers being proficient pianists, the piano is often used as a tool for composition.

	Pianist - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A professional pianist can perform solo pieces, play with an orchestra or smaller ensemble, or accompany one or more singers or solo instrumentalists.
		Many well-known classical composers were capable pianists themselves; for example, Franz Peter Schubert, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Ludwig van Beethoven, Franz Liszt, Johannes Brahms, Frédéric Chopin, Robert Schumann, and Sergei Rachmaninoff were all virtuoso pianists.
		Consequently, pianists have a wide variety of repertoire and styles to choose from, including jazz, classical music, and all sorts of popular music.

	"The Pianist" - Salon
		In "The Pianist," Polanski is saying what he has long wanted to say, confronting the roots of his own preoccupations and obsessions, and he allows nothing to get in the way.
		Wladyslaw's middle-class family, his parents, two sisters and brother, are moved from their spacious apartment to a cramped one in the newly barricaded Warsaw ghetto, and then to workers' barracks, and then to the trains that will take them to the camps.
		Again and again in "The Pianist," the Szpilman family glimpses those horrors from a removed vantage point; for example, from their darkened apartment as Nazis raid a Jewish building across the street.

	Maurizio Pollini
		He has also developed a great interest in contemporary works and was one of the first pianists to champion their cause.
		He is a very sensitive pianist so I had to wait behind closed doors and listen from there to his rendition of the First Book of Debussy's Twelve Etudes for Piano.
		In fact, the pianist had already proved it in 1976 with his recording that came out in 1978 and won him the Grand Prix International du Disque in 1979 (Get the CD from Amazon.com).

	Krzysztof Jablonski - Pianist
		Jablonski played elegantly and with unshakeable interpretative control (...) His fastidiousness was a virtue, and left one admiring the transparency of his textures and his ability to build interpretations that had a clear, logical shape.
		It might sound like faint praise to say that Krzysztof Jablonski, the young Polish pianist who gave a recital (…) was notable chiefly for his unfaltering command of the keyboard.
		But this was pianistic power of a very high magnitude; (…) Not even the flashiest run was played for display; everything was stitched into an intelligent musical whole.

	Wladyslaw Szpilman - The Pianist
		Recently published in English with the title "The Pianist," Wladyslaw Szpilman's harrowing account was first published in Poland in 1946 under the title "Death of a City." Until recently, the book had remained largely unnoticed.
		Szpilman's initial training as a pianist was in the Chopin School of Music in Warsaw under Josef Smidowicz and Aleksander Michalowski, both of them former students of Liszt.
		His light music was particularly successful: for decades the Poles sang tunes from his three musicals, 50---60 children's songs and 600-odd chansons as they went about the business of their daily lives.

	THE PIANIST
		The Pianist is the first film director Roman Polanski has made in Poland since his very first feature (Knife in the Water).
		Had The Pianist been the first film about somebody going through hell trying to survive the Nazi Experience, I would expect people to be falling all over the film.
		The Pianist opens in a 1939 Warsaw radio station, where popular pianist Wladyslaw Szpilman (Adrien Brody, Harrison's Flowers) is performing Chopin live on the air...until German bombs blow the place apart.

	The Pianist (2002)
		The reason the Pianist is unique and refreshing is mainly the point of view it takes, as suggested by its singular title.
		Andrian Brody stars as a reputable pianist in Warsaw, living with his well-to-do family under the forced leadership of the Nazis, who by the beginning of the film have already invaded Poland.
		The Pianist is remarkably subtle and poignant for a production of such a grand scale, and I can only hope it marks the return of a promising cinematic talent.

	The Pianist
		A pianist in Warsaw during the late 1930's goes into hiding from 1942-1945 during the Nazi occupation.
		One of the amazing things is that Wladyslaw remained a resident in Warsaw until his death in 2000 at the age of 89.
		The fact that remains with George after seeing this film is that there is a time to stand up and fight; realize that you have enemies and that doing nothing is like committing suicide.

		The film's protagonist is celebrated Jewish pianist Wladyslaw Szpilman (Adrien Brody), who, along with his family, is forced to watch as the restrictions against Jews become increasingly more odious.
		Recognizing that The Pianist is a true story adds another layer to its impact (although it is the case that most Holocaust films are based on factual incidents).
		With The Pianist, Roman Polanski has not only given us the most recent motion picture to remind future generations of what happened under Hitler's regime, but he has also provided us with hope that his own career, after numerous dead-ends, may finally be back on track.

	The Pianist
		The Pianist is a sublimely made film, with a very detailed and accurate depiction of life in a Jewish ghetto, extremely well acted by Adrien Brody (Thin Red Line, New York Stories), with help of a superb production designer Allan Starsky and with some of the most moving scenes I have ever seen.
		The Pianist proves again what a skilled, perceptive, psychological astute and brave filmmaker Roman Polanski is, because it must have been very hard for him to revisit the locations, look at the archive footage of the brutal and ruthless Nazi killings and refresh painful memories.
		The Pianist is strongest in depicting the horrors of daily life in Warsaw during the war and there are truly shocking moments.

	The Pianist (Movie)
		(The Pianist is, among others things, a eulogy for Warsaw.) When he is finally driven out of his hiding places and wanders the blasted streets, the imagery goes beyond starkness into the surreal -- we might be looking at a lunar landscape by De Chirico.
		And yet these two men, who might appear from their lives and works to be temperamentally unalike, share a distaste for special pleading or bathos.
		In The Pianist, suffering is seen with such clarity that its relief becomes a balm of the greatest magnitude.

	ZCPortal - The Eternal Nazi: Watching Roman Polanski's The Pianist in Germany
		Last week I had the opportunity in Munich to attend a screening of Roman Polanski's new film The Pianist, a film that will not premiere in the United States for another month.
		This film is based on the true story of the Polish Jewish piano virtuoso Wladyslaw Szpilman, who survived the entire Nazi occupation of Warsaw hiding in the Ghetto and at times being hidden right under the noses of the Nazis in safe houses maintained by the Polish Resistance.
		The Pianist is a great film and an even greater cautionary tale, because history has an unfortunate way of repeating itself.

	The Pianist - The Book by Wladyslaw Szpilman
		The "Palme d’Or", three "Oscars" and various European film prizes were among the awards collected by "The Pianist", Roman Polanski’s film based upon Wladyslaw Szpilman’s bestseller book "The Pianist", dealing with his "miraculous survival" (as he called it) in Warsaw during the German occupation and final destruction between 1938 and 1945.
		Before Roman Polanski's The Pianist became possibly the best film ever made about the Holocaust, before it won the Palme d'Or at Cannes and garnered seven Oscar nominations, this story of the against-all-odds survival of the Jewish musician in German-occupied Poland was a book with an unusual publishing history.
		The Pianist was translated by Anthea Bell and published by Victor Gollancz in 1999, with Wladyslaw and Andrzej coming to England for the book's launch.
