Vladimir Cosma is a Romanian composer who mostly worked on French films, most notably the 1981 thriller "Diva" directed by Jean-Jeaques Beineix. The soundtrack moves between stunning segments of opera performed by Wilhelmania Wiggins Fernandez, passages of dark synthesizers and electronic drums used for suspenseful moments á la John Carpenter, and gorgeous variations on the haunting piano theme, "Promenade Sentimentale". The delicate piece brings to mind the piano music of Gurdjieff and Thomas De Hartmann as well as the ambient compositions of Harold Budd.
