 SoundStage! Zbigniew Preisner - Requiem for My Friend
Zbigniew Preisner is by many considered one of the most important film-score composers of his generation.
A certain minimalism and precision of expression is at work even in his Requiem, though it is unencumbered by the demands of timed image frames.

 Preisner's Music - Zbigniew Preisner
Comment: Insightfully beautiful, Preisner's Music is an album of a journey to discovery.
Joyous, dark, melancholic, and subdued, the myriad of contemplative moments allow the listener to momentarily feel Preisner's passion for life and sound, and to see through his eyes the splendour of a vast landscape that slowly unwinds.
Comment:...but what goes really well with this music are the films that match it, especially Damage (Fatale) and Mouvements du Desir.
