I remember...
I had erolled in a screen writing class one summer years ago, auditing for fun.. alot of very serious students in that class. Eyes Wide Shut premiered during those weeks, professor and students eagerly anticipating the master's newest work... remaining weeks were devoted to that film's analysis and admiration. (I ended up doing my final paper, though I was auditing, the professor insisted I do the written work, on Krystof Kieslowsi, specifically The Double Life of Veronique and his Blue, White, & Red trilogy - a tall order - but received favorable comments on my work.. I glowed with pride..)
What nice memories.
Kieslowski's score composer was Zbigniew Preisner. Here is his magnificient Concerto en mi mineur from The Double Life of Veronique.
Ever since I found out that Ester Ledecká's Dad was a singer, I have been curious to know what he is like.
So, this afternoon while I was making out the Nationals Predictions Game threads, I listened to Janek Ledecký's 2006 Christmas album:
