Can someone tell me what the music is to this great film ???

Composer = Avro Part ("a" has German umlaut on it) music is "Spiegel im Spiegel" and "Fur Alina" are the main "romantic" pieces of music.

The music is almost entirely imported into the film. The composer who is featured for the most part is Arvo Pärt. Unfortunately, not having been composed for the movie, the music disfigures the film for anyone who knows the works. Especially as they have figured in other movies, including a dedication work for 9-11. The director has thus allowed his good instincts to be disfigured by shoddy music supervision without creating an authentic music language.

The opening music is the same as is used several times in Excalibur and is called something like the Siegfried Funeral March from the ring cycle by Wagner. Tremendously evocative in all these contexts.
