Themes of Dracula
Serie: Revisions (CD)
When cinema’s great visionary Francis Ford Coppola is calling – the director of The Godfather and Apocalypse Now – who would hang up on him? Wojciech Kilar took up the offer of cooperation, which resulted in his soundtrack (now of cult status) for the tale of the Transylvanian monster whose love was a bit too strong. Years later, this pathetic-lyrical cantata for mixed choir and symphony orchestra has been turned inside out by pianist Piotr Orzechowski and saxophonist Kuba Więcek.
It is not without reason that Piotr Orzechowski has been nicknamed Pianohooligan. He takes much satisfaction in demolishing the boundaries between the old and the new, between classical and jazz music. Kuba Więcek is, on the other hand, one of the most versatile jazz musicians of his generation, deriving pleasure from discovering new contexts, challenges, and types of sound for his music. Some may complain that Orzechowski and Więcek’s take on Kilar is a sacrilege. What they have created, however, elevates variations on Wojciech Kilar’s film music to quite a new level of musical understanding.
