Kaczmarek composed the original score to the Lajos Koltaj film EVENING, based on the novel by Susan Minot. Sweeping, emotional, and full-bodied, Kaczmarek's music perfectly reflects the film's complex emotional dynamics. But the soundtrack also features an eclectic mix of jazz and pop, including selections from Michael Buble, Ash, Ella Fitzgerald, and Peggy Lee. The soundtrack offers a fine souvenir of the filmic experience, and an oddly moving listening experience on its own. Like so many contemporary official soundtrack releases, Evening brings together the film's original score with a batch of familiar period pop hits -- unlike most soundtracks, the two disparate halves prove surprisingly complementary, each capturing the film's romantic intimacy without sentimentality or mawkishness. Composer Jan A.P. Kaczmarek's score returns to his signature piano and strings, but he exhibits an uncommon restraint and subtlety here that allows his lovely melodies room to breathe. This is music that arrives by its sophistication naturally, favoring nuance over Sturm und Drang. No less compelling are contributions like Peggy Lee's "Gee Baby, Ain't I Good to You" and Sarah Vaughan's "Stairway to the Stars," which further underscore the maturity and elegance of the cumulative listening experience. ~ Jason Ankeny Producer: Jan A.P.
