With this post I wanna introduce to you one of the best polish film music composer Michał Lorenc. Maybe he's not as skilled (nor as popular) as Kilar or Kaczmarek (Lorenc never attended to any music school), but his music has something what I would call soul. He often uses saxophone and lot of his scores has very jazzy feeling. But not the one I wanna share with you;). And since I'm not good when it comes to talk 'bout music, so let the music talk by itself...

... and here's the link to this score. It's from the movie Bandyta (aka Brute).

http://rapidshare.com/files/213322918/Micha__322__Lorenc_-_Bandyta.zip.html

Music is performed by Sinfonia Varsovia. Very touching, full of Eastern Europe colour (inspired by folk etc.) although maybe a bit monothematic, but after all beautiful thing. Definitely different than standard Hollywood score, so if U wanna listen to something a bit unordinary, than check this out.

Sinfonia Varsovia = Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra? Or Filharmonia Narodowa?

As for my knowledge those are completely different orchestras, although all from Warsaw. But I might be wrong (to lazy to check, do it yourself;)).

One of few reasons to be proud of in my country:)

Thank You so much For this Excellent Sharing Herbaciak….Lorenc’s Style of Composing Reminds me somehow of Joe Hisaishi’s Style in music Composition…All Can I say is “This is a Real Masterpiece”…..10/10…Very Soulful Dramatized Scores…Track#10 is one of the Best ….I Certainly will Add his Name to my Favorite List of Composers of the New Age Music….Any other Works For Lorenc would be very Appreciated if you have them Already…

I don't wanna star new thread, so I will post some of his scores here, let's make it a little Lorenc thread.

For now, Exit in Red and Symmetry. Exit in Red is my favourite work of him. Jazzy, romantic, sad... well, hear for yourself. But be warned, if U are allergic to saxophone don't even try it. As for Symmetry, this is his darkest score, almost depressing, but it's interesting music (with really good theme).


EXIT in RED

Here's Brute in FLAC

Thanks a lot, tom_1984!:)

btw I have his "Far From The Window" (Daleko od Okna) score. Similar style to Brute and also made by Sinfonia Varsovia. I'll upload it at the weekend, if somebody is interested.

btw2 I checked and found out it is different and much younger orchestra. It was founded in 1984, while Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra is more than 100yo. But still great listen:)

Another Wonderful Work “Exit in Red”…I am so Glad that I had the Chance to Download and Listen to it….Generally,I Feel that Lorenc’s Style is more in New Age and Classic than Jazz. ,As I noticed that most of the Tracks are, this Variety makes the Composer so Unique …”Exit” Album is More Jazzy than the Other Two…This Album is Simply Alluring…The “Symmetry” has kind of Dark Gloomy Feelings…But Still Good Work...
oh, Saxophone is one of most Beautiful and Amazing Instrument in the Universe…Anyone who is Real Music Lover and Respect True Music should at least love a Piece that Played with it…. Thank You so much For those Sharings Herbaciak…
Yes, Szczepan…Any Performing Works For Sinfonia Varsovia Would be Nice Uploading…Thank You…

Many Thanks To You Szczepan For this Beautiful Upload.....Much Appreciated Listening to This Wonderful Composer...

Glad You liked it Sonataaa :)
