	Choral and Orchestral Works - Wojciech Kilar (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Wojciech Kilar was originally an associate of avant-garde composers Gorecki and Penderecki, but ultimately eschewed the atonality of his early works, preferring to combine elements of modernism with a more openly emotional and direct approach.
		Kilar then slowly adds to the seemingly simple textures launching into an extended crescendo until a euphoric plateau is reached with the choir and orchestra joining the soloist.
		To an even greater extent than the Ravel (which the composer once described as orchestration without music), Kilar's work goes on far too long and despite the grandiose choral finale, by the end of the 24 minutes, another repetition of its main theme is just too much.

	7/4/01: Lost Issue Wojciech Kilar Part One
		Wojciech Kilar stood at the vanguard of Polish modern music for nearly four decades, and he has been scoring films prolifically for just as long.
		While broad and simple, Kilar's melodies often embody meta-narrativic psychological supertexts, acting as tight weaves that seamlessly resolve and unify a great many "threads"; hence, Kilar's Portrait score demonstrates to stunning effect that things needn't be complicated to bear complexity.
		Later she visited me in Katowice [Kilar's hometown in Poland] with her husband, and even later, at the recording in Prague, she was there with her husband and their child; Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman also showed up.

		Kilar says the event was a stronger shock to him because he grew up on American culture from Mickey Mouse to John Cage.
		Kilar’s style is directly accessible, with consonances, wonderful harmonies and a good feeling for how long repetitions can be extended without becoming annoying.

	Filmtracks: The Ninth Gate (Wojciech Kilar)
		The Ninth Gate: (Wojciech Kilar) In the growing season of horror thriller scores early in the year 2000, a collection of darkly modern, dramatic film music wouldn't be complete without an entry from Wojciech Kilar.
		Kilar's typical heavy base string approach is to be expected as well.
		Overall, Kilar's use of harsh piano strikes, a harpsichord, and various eerie percussion create almost an hour of superior horror genre music.

	The Ninth Gate (Wojciech Kilar)
		For the majority of film music fans, Wojciech Kilar is famous for just three scores: Bram Stoker's Dracula in 1992, Polanski's Death and the Maiden in 1995 and The Portrait of a Lady in 1997.
		Kilar's sound is rich, luxurious and distinctly East European in nature, with heavy-sounding strings, prominent bass and cellos dominating many of his scores.
		I personally feel that this is one of the scores of 1999 to date, and I sincerely hope that Kilar, along with his countryman Zbigniew Preisner, is given the opportunity to score more mainstream films in the future.

	The Ninth Gate - Wojciech Kilar
		Wojciech Kilar is perhaps most famously known for his scores to Jane Campion's The Portrait of a Lady and Francis Ford Coppola's overblown, but artistically inspiring Dracula.
		It soon becomes clear that Kilar's orchestrations favour deeper sonorities, as the low woodwind variation on the backing harmony for Corso immediately reiterates.
		Kilar is not the most prolific of film composers, nor the most well known, but a modest output often means that when a foray into scoring is made, the effects are scintillating and hugely inspiring and this is most certainly the case here.

	Movie Music UK - Wojciech Kilar
		Wojciech Kilar is inarguably one Poland’s finest composers.
		Having already received critical success as a classical composer, Kilar scored his first domestic film that same year, and ha since gone on to write music from some of Poland's most acclaimed directors, including Krzysztof Kieslowski, Krzysztof Zanussi, Kazimierz Kutz and Andrzej Wajda.
		Admirers of his work lament the fact that Kilar works on English-language films so infrequently — with the exception of The Pianist, all his scores since the turn of the millennium have been for Polish films directed by either Zanussi or Wajda.

		The three parts of Wojciech Kilar`s Concerto are like three acts of gradually developed, cohesive plot, with its central point being the second part: Corale-Largo Religiosamente.
		This peculiar prayer, {...} determines the religious character of the piece, It is preceded by the first part, a kind of musical meditation {...}, and followed by painfully dynamic, masterful Toccata, an apotheosis of power and vitality and at the same time suggestively symbolizing the aggression of the word around us."

	Wojciech Kilar - film composer
		The name of Wojciech Kilar has only come to light relatively recently in English language film circles, but he has been composing music for Polish and other films since the 1950s.
		One of the features of this soundtrack is that there are times when two of these themes are playing simultaneously yet independently, while the lyrics chant the Latin equivalent of the refrain "Blood is Life".
		Among Kilar's concert pieces is one called "Requiem Father Kolbe" which had its origins in the music he created for a film about Father Kolbe who allowed his own life to be taken in preference to that of another prisoner at the Auschwitz concentration camp.
