The Pianist: Music from the Motion Picture is the original soundtrack, on the Sony Classical label, of the 2002 Academy Award-winning and Golden Globe-nominated film The Pianist starring Adrien Brody (who won the Academy Award for Best Actor for his role as "Wladyslaw Szpilman" in this film), Thomas Kretschmann and Frank Finlay. The Chopin pieces were played by Polish pianist Janusz Olejniczak and the original score pieces were composed by Wojciech Kilar.
