Zitat

Wild prairies, a sensational plot and a star-studded cast: a film which enjoyed great success in the 1960s on the Polish screens, and internationally, for instance in Italy. “Wilcze echa” features also an extremely interesting soundtrack by Wojciech Kilar – a proof that in the 1960s the composer was able to do good in every genre. Even in westerns.

In the 1960s, there seemed to be no end to Kilar’s imagination. In the similar vein, the cinematic energy of Aleksander Ścibor-Rylski was like an endless string of ideas sourced in variegated traditions. “Wilcze echa”, hailed as a Polish western, became for the director and the composer an excellent opportunity to play with forms. Ścibor-Rylski ventured to check whether it was possible to make a western on locations in the Bieszczady mountains, and Kilar tried to find a golden mean between orchestra music and the instrumentation typical of this genre. The outcome is one of the most interesting soundtracks among Kilar’s works – one of the most complete and riveting from the first to the last second. Motifs full of tension intersect here with wide soundscapes which depict vast mountain pastures, and the murmured leitmotif could be equaled with Komeda’s “Nim wstanie dzień” or Walaciński’s “Ballada o Pancernych”. All of them carry the same emotional load.

The music from “Późne popołudnie” will show you an entirely different Kilar – very much entertaining, light, making a bow to the American school of film music. This is yet another proof of the composer’s versatility and his extraordinary sense of melody. Recordings from both films have been released on the album for the first time, remastered from original tapes stored at the archives of the CeTA Audiovisual Technology Center in Wrocław. The booklet published with the disc features an essay on the films and soundtracks and stills from the set. The album is the next addition to the joint publishing series of CeTA and GAD Records which presents the most interesting film music recordings from the archives of the former Feature Film Studio in Wrocław.
