The third edition of the series Film Music – Sounds of Hollywood presents music from the most famous movies and television series. The brilliant sound of the Vogtland Philharmonie brings Hollywood directly into your sound system. Some of the most award-winning film scores are presented on this album, including selections from John William’s Star Wars score, who was nominated for his fourth Academy Award for Best Original Score in 2015. Also included are selections from House Of Cards, Game of Thrones, Aladdin, Bonanza, and others. The Vogtland Philharmonic Orchestra is a supra-regional orchestra with a unique spectrum of activities ranging from symphonic concerts to serenades and gala evenings, from concerts in historical costumes to film music performances or contemporary crossover projects. The Vogtland Philharmonic has developed a series of educational programs as well, such as the “Kids meet Classic” concert series, in order to engage new musical talent. As the musical ambassador of the region, the Vogtland Philharmonic performs all over Europe, as well as in Turkey, China and in the USA. It is also a regular partner of international music competitions. Formed in 1992 as the result of a merger between two renowned symphony orchestras from Thuringia and Saxony, the Vogtland Symphony has since established itself as an indispensable cultural institution. It continues the over 150 year old orchestral tradition of the region at the highest artistic level and continues to delight with its spirit of invention and innovation.
Film music soundtracks have established themselves over the years as major providers of popular tunes. But jazz is quite different, because it has always had an appetite for transforming standards into something of its own. The Swingin’ Affair quartet brings new colors to the famous melodies heard in films, adding unrivalled freshness with some sumptuous arrangements that draw on different palettes, including swing, cool jazz and bossa nova… Imagine Darth Vader playing in the Cotton Club with Duke Ellington and his Orchestra! The Swingin’ Affair quartet give a marvelous demonstration of how fertile our music heritage can be when it comes to being creative.
