Falder over denne spritnye BIS skive. Classicstoday giver fuld score på lydkvalitet og på performance.
Her er der stor chance for at møde god musik som man kender fra gode film i en god indspilning. CD'en er på min wantlist og adskillige af filmene burde jeg nok også have.

Roland Pöntinen (piano)
From the very beginning – even during the era of the silent movie – music has been recognised as a major ingredient of the cinematic experience, and great filmmakers have been extremely painstaking in their choice of music. When selecting from existing music, directors have been particularly fond of using works for solo piano.
Several such works have been brought together here, from films such as Autumn Sonata and Cries and Whispers (Bergman), Eyes Wide Shut (Kubrick), The Pianist (Polanski) and Diva (J-J Beneix). Atmospheric in its own right, the music by Debussy, Chopin, Schubert, Bach and Ligeti becomes even more evocative when combined with often striking pictures.
Roland Pöntinen has often been praised for his versatility and musical intelligence: “In Pöntinen's hands, Liszt's Christmas Tree lights up, blazing with fervour, intelligence and poetry” (BBC Music Magazine on BISCD1164) and “this performance – expansive and impassioned without self-indulgence – deserves a high place among current recommendations” (The Gramophone on BISCD1417).
Pöntinen’s previous releases in this original recital series on BIS include ‘Music for a Rainy Day’ (BISCD300) and ‘Evening Bells’ (BISCD1164)
