A little-known masterpiece!

Every few years there is it, soundtracks for films which hardly anyone knows, of relatively unknown composer. In some cases, it is precisely those soundtracks that are just plain impressive. Would be written to a typical cinema blockbusters such a work for many many awards are nominated, so but they remain a secret. Abel Korzeniowski is a relatively unknown composer who is justly highly critical acclaim, but unfortunately could not show on the big stage what he can. His music for the drama WE was nevertheless already for a Golden Globe nominees.

Copernicus Star is a Polish animated film from the year 2009, the last being two years later also available on CD. Without the film to know got involved in the music and was overwhelmed by the very first second. If you try Korzeniowski musically arrange, you have to think twice. He has the talent for great topics like John Williams and a bit of the playful way of composing such as John Powell. However, it is impossible to pack it in a drawer, because his way of writing music is unique in my opinion.

The music is completely the orchestra, without the support of electronics, but with a very present choir. Right in the first piece of the first major theme is presented with brass, strings and trumpets. An epic fantasy melody that is accompanied by swirling strings and choir. Flutes and chimes play around again and again the action and after a few minutes, a second theme is introduced. This theme has a very medieval sound and will be taken up again and again. It is supported by a quite modern sounding bass.

Prophecy leads with a choir and orchestra, another big issue, which is very grand and majestic sounds, like the other issues it permeates the whole music. A Thief is very playful contrast in the style of Animationsfilmem and crossed by Mickey Mousing, but always melodic and constant. In Aquarius comes to compose a lot of Korzeniowski way through. The Streicherdmelodien remember his work on A Single Man and is consistently impressive and beautiful.

Anna and Volder is very romantic and dreamlike composed. The technique is varied, varied and yet always accessible and available. There is high-class film music as they hardly heard in this day and age. Medic is another fantastic piece which is dominated by strings before it strongly goes towards medieval market square, a great contrast. Faustus combines many topics directly but arranges them completely new, large cinema.

The choir has a presence always and especially in He Who Stopped the Sun he takes with great vocals an important role before the album ends with the beautiful Scholars. To go into each piece would lead too far, it remains only to say that every piece is worth, and full attention to detail and great compositional technique is.

Conclusion: A masterpiece and so far my favorite soundtrack of this wonderful artist. I can join you for this work, only one review in place internet. Had been nominated for an Oscar, it would get him safely album. Full themes and unique pieces, attention to detail and much much craftsmanship brings the composer a great mix of different elements and combines them into a whole. Score of 2009 for me.
