Penderecki - Music for FilmPenderecki - Music for FilmPenderecki - Music for Film

Penderecki composed music for the movie «The Saragossa Manuscript» (1965) from the polish director Wojciech Has. Someone told me this music was recorded. Anyone knows the label? Thank you.

I have never known of an LP or CD issue of this music. However, the film itself is now available on DVD:

A Penderecki work I am still looking for is the 1961 Psalmus, his one 'pure' tape composition. This was apparently on LP many years ago

I have an old reel-to-reel mono tape of this somewhere, taped off the radio whether I can still find it...

The 'Drei Stucke im alten Stil', which were used in the film, are on Wergo: http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000025RDT

Part of it is available on a WERGO record (Drei Stücke im alten Stil für Streichorchester/Three pieces in old style for string orchestra et.al.), WER 60172-50.

Best wishes

Drei Stucke im alten Stil is by Gorecki rather than Penderecki, isn't it?

They both wrote pieces of this title - even, I believe, in the same year. (No, really.)

Right, next thing you'll be telling me there were two movies about Jean Harlow entitled simply 'Harlow' released in 1965!
