Nice introduction to the world of Chopin
Like "Shine", a couple of years ago, "The Pianist" will introduce a fair number of people to the world of classical music. Seen in this light, this soundtrack is very useful. The classical pieces (mainly Chopin) get a decent treatment, although there are better performances available (also on mid-price and budget price!) Don't be fooled into thinking that this is actually Wladyslaw Szpilman (the main character in the movie) playing. The performances are by Janusz Olejniczak, a steady Polish pianist, especially selected for this soundtrack by director Roman Polanski.
