A film about madness. And the obsessive music of Andrzej Korzy?ski, combining diabolical motifs of flutes, distorted guitars and synthesizers with bucolic images for a string orchestra. A phenomenal soundtrack, which is a summary of the composer's artistic explorations from the 1970s.
Although the film itself is somewhat forgotten today, the music is one of the most important in Andrzej Korzy?ski's oeuvre - also according to the composer himself. "The Beast" sums up the entire 70s, showing both the composer's classical inspirations (Mahler!) and the constant search for new colors and harmonies in contemporary instruments. Anxiety and horror, pauses full of uncertainty, a diabolical flute, an overdriven guitar - all this can be heard in the opening "In Darkness". Further on, you can hear numerous transformations of these terrifying motifs, filled with the sonic magma of synthesizers and drums, but also completely different, idyllic pieces arranged for orchestra. There is even a ghostly waltz!
"The Beast" is released for the first time on disc, remastered from the original tapes from the composer's archive. The booklet includes a comprehensive essay on the film and music, posters, stills and photos of the tapes.

1979年のポーランド映画「BESTIA (BEAST)」のオリジナル・サウンドトラック。音楽は「ポゼッション」、「大理石の男」、「鉄の男」のアンジェイ・コジンスキー。
トラックリスト狂気についての映画。そして、フルート、歪んだギター、シンセサイザーによる極悪非道なモチーフと、弦楽オーケストラのための牧歌的なイメージを組み合わせた、アンジェイ・コジンスキーキの強迫的な音楽。1970年代からのこの作曲家の芸術的探求の集大成ともいえる驚異的なサウンドトラック。
この映画自体は今日、やや忘れ去られているが、音楽はコジンスキーの作品の中でも最も重要なもののひとつであり、作曲家本人もそう語っている。『BESTIA (BEAST)』は70年代全体を要約しており、作曲者の古典的なインスピレーション（マーラー！）と、現代楽器の新しい色彩とハーモニーの絶え間ない探求の両方を示している。不安と恐怖、不確実性に満ちた間、極悪非道なフルート、オーバードライブのギター、これらすべてが冒頭の「In Darkness」で聴くことができる。さらに進むと、シンセサイザーやドラムの音のマグマで満たされたこれらの恐ろしいモチーフの数々の変容が聴けるだけでなく、オーケストラ用にアレンジされたまったく異なる牧歌的な曲もある。幽霊のようなワルツさえある！
『BESTIA (BEAST)』は、作曲家のアーカイヴにあるオリジナル・テープからリマスターされ、初めてディスク化。ブックレットには、映画と音楽に関する包括的なエッセイ、ポスター、スチール写真、テープの写真が掲載されています。
