Hi guys.

I'm just wondering if there's anyone out there who has the recently released soundtrack to the film along with the opera pieces composed for it? I saw the Chinese cut/version (130 mins), and it was a beautiful, mesmerizing, and poignant movie. Wong Kar-wai's use of music is still at its best too!

Especially in this one particular scene:

Shigeru Umebayashi is back after composing 2046 for Wong and it seems like he combined some stylistic elements from both that film and his previous score to House of Flying Daggers while showcasing new material. Particularly of note, the tense action cues in the meticulously choreographed fight scenes!

Here's the Amazon pages for the two:

Official soundtrack
Amazon.com: The Grandmaster (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack): Various: MP3 Downloads (http://www.amazon.com/Grandmaster-Original-Motion-Picture-Soundtrack/dp/B00EHFATTG)

Opera pieces
Amazon.com: Stabat Mater (feat. Sandra Pastrana, The City of Rome Contemporary Music Ensemble) [As Seen in Wong Kar Wai's The Grandmaster]: Stefano Lentini: MP3 Downloads (http://www.amazon.com/Stabat-Pastrana-Contemporary-Ensemble-Grandmaster/dp/B00E4DJJXS)

I will be extremely thankful to anyone who has both of them since it would complete my Wong Kar-wai collection.
