SAMI SWOI

A legendary and outstanding comedy, watched for more than fifty years by new generations with the same joy and laughter, commented on by popular press and discussed by scholars. “Sami swoi” by Sylwester Ch?ci?ski has a lasting place in the history of Polish culture and even in everyday language. After all, everybody knows that ‘court is a court but justice must be on our side’. Now, the original score written by Wojciech Kilar has been released for the first time ? and in its full version.

In the 1960s, Kilar often leaned towards simplicity and shunned from overblown, majestic orchestral passages, so favored by the golden age of Hollywood. He looked for simplicity, both in terms of arrangement and melody, as perfectly exemplified by the main theme from “Sami swoi”. For Ch?ci?ski, this was more than sufficient to illustrate the hilarious adventures of his characters. This release includes a complete set of tracks produced for the film (including themes either unused or considerably truncated in the final picture): a gamut of main theme incarnations, motives based on the string section and the percussion illustration to the scene of stallion breaking.

Album is supplemented by real discovery ? complete Kilar’s soundtrack from the little-known film by Stanis?aw Lenartowicz “Czerwone i z?ote”. The lyrical piano waltz, performed with subtlety, guides the viewers throughout the story, and bursts each time in a fresh versions, based on sounds of the vibraphone or the harp. Recordings from both films have been released on the record for the first time, remastered from the original tapes kept at the archives of the CeTA Audiovisual Technology Center in Wroc?aw. The booklet contains new liner notes, stills and memorabilia.
