Carter Burwell has such taste in his compositions. It's also gotten to a point where I can identify his style. His piano writing seems to recall many great Schubert lieder, at least to me. His writing as a whole seems to bridge very straight forward writing and a bit of ethereal at the same time.

Very brilliant composer; he adds something that wasn't there before, and he does it with such beauty.
