Wojciech Kilar (1932 - 2013) was a leading Polish film composer, as well as having a good number of concert works to his credit - kind of a Polish Miklos Rozsa, but less Romantic, more modernist. This out of print 1997 Milan Classics CD holds extracts from 13 of his scores, 22 tracks in all. They have a wide stylistic range, and include the Shostakovichlike Grand Valse from "La Lepreuse", the obsessive Alla Polacca from "Contrat", the sentimental, Morriconey Witek et Alina from "La Chronique des Evenements Amoureux", and the grand choral/orchestral ominousness of The Storm from "Bram Stoker's Dracula". See photo for complete list of pieces, films, and directors.
