My Memories of You: Sixteen Selected Songs by the Pianist Wladyslaw Szpilman (BH Voice) [Paperback] Review

I became a fan of Wladyslaw Szpilman after viewing (and viewing and viewing) the movie of his ordeal, "The Pianist".

I feel very honoured to be able to own his work, and play his work.If you love music with a classical and 1940's vibe I would highly suggest the purchase of this music.

Product Description:
Wladyslaw Szpilman's memoirs and Roman Polanski's oscar-winning film have made THE PIANIST renowned all over the world. However not many people outside Poland know that as well as writing classical concert works, Szpilman also wrote about 500 songs.
These songs have been popular in Poland for decades. Now at last, Szpilman's extraordinary talent as a song-writer reaches an international audience, thanks to the new CD Wendy Lands sings the Music of The Pianist Wladyslaw Szpilman, produced in the USA by a team of first-rate American musicians. Internationally noted authors have provided sensitive new English lyrics which perfectly suit Szpilman's blend of jazz, country and cabaret styles.
Most of the songs on this disc are now published in print as part of Boosey & Hawkes/Bote & Bock's new series of Szpilman's works. The album My memories of you - Sixteen selected songs by THE PIANIST Wladyslaw Szpilman is now available enabling singers everywhere to perform these hauntingly beautiful timeless ballads. The songs are in the original keys with Szpilman's own piano accompaniments and guitar chords.

Titanic (Piano/Vocal/Guitar Songbook) [Paperback] Review

The pieces in this book are each some of the best movie music available for the piano.Each piece is masterfully arranged as a piano solo.The book itself contains seven piano pieces from the "Titanic"soundtrack plus the "My Heart Will Go On" song.
The contentsare as follows: Never An Absolution * Southampton * Rose * "Take Herto Sea, Mr. Murdoch" * "Hard to Starboard" * Unable to Stay,Unwilling to Leave * Hymn to the Sea * My Heart Will Go On (Love Theme from"Titanic").
My personal favorite is "Rose."It is anarrangement for the piano based on the theme song.It is one of the mostbeautiful piano pieces I have played on the piano, and it is perfect forthe beginning to intermediate player."Never an Absolution" and"Hymn to the Sea" are also very nice on the piano.I liked allthe other pieces from the soundtrack.Some of them are definitely forintermediate level players, such as "Take Her to Sea, Mr.Murdoch" and "Hard to Starboard."The "My Heart WillGo On" song is the one selection that is for piano/vocal/guitar.Itdoes not sound as well on the piano compared to the other pieces,especially "Rose."But, I'm sure its inclusion will be a plusespecially for those who like the song.I personally liked the other songswhich were specifically geared for the piano.They simply could not havebeen arranged better.I wish other movie soundtracks would release pianobooks of this caliber.I give this book my highest recommendation.
