<h1>Contemporary music from Poland</h1>

Music Geography begins with one of the finest contemporary Polish artists Zbigniew Preisner

Zbigniew Preisner is a modern artist from Poland born in 1955 in the southern Polish city, Bielsko-Biała. He has written many various scores for Polish film director Krzysztof Kieślowski; because of the complementary moods they offer the films, the scores have brought the Polish musician much acclaim which has spread out of films and into solitary albums. The success has come not from a man formally trained in some private music school, but has come from a young boy with a keen ear for the musical effect. This boy practised and imitated other pieces which he was fond of; Now he's a man, and his music is of its own.

A view of the beautiful scenary of Bielsko-Biała that might have influenced Preisner.

A description of his compositions entails many grand ideas such as beautiful inter-weaved choral parts, drawn out organ sections, and both moody and gripping orchestrations. Zbigniew Preisner's music enters and leaves ideas in the most natural of manners. Good variety keeps the listener from boredom's grips yet the music turns back to basic premises often enough to keep each piece a whole.

If ever you wanted to get a good impression of the vast architecture of modern Poland, Zbigniew Preisner's music is as accurate as any picture; it towers at times far beyond the clouds, yet doesn't lack detail as such a great edifice.

You can find his work on the Amazon link bellow. Of his works, I would recommend Requiem for my friend and his most popular work for Three Colors Trilogy (Blue / White / Red)

Here are links to some of his releases: Bleu: Bande Originale Du Film

Requiem For My Friend - Preisner / Rewakowicz, Kasprzyk, Sinfonia Varsovia, et al
