IMMORTAL BELOVED

Return to the magic and wonder of C.S. Lewis' beloved world via the fantastic Narnian ship, the Dawn Treader. THE CHONICLES OF NARNIA: THE VOYAGE OF THE DAWN TREADER Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is composed by Grammy Award-winner David Arnold and follows the hugely successful first two soundtracks in THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA series.

Set on the eve of World War I, A Dangerous Method is a true story based on the intense and turbulent relationships between fledgling psychiatrist Carl Jung, his mentor Sigmund Freud and Sabina Spielrein, the troubled but beautiful young woman who comes between them. Directed by David Cronenberg (A History of Violence, Eastern Promises), the film stars Academy Award® nominees Viggo Mortensen as Freud and Keira Knightley as Sabina with Michael Fassbender as Jung. This film was presented during the Venice Film Festival and the Toronto International Film Festival in September. The movie opens in the United States on December 11, 2011.

Howard Shore has composed music for more that 80 films, working with directors such as Martin Scorsese and Jonathan Demme, with whom he collaborated on Silence of the Lambs and Philadelphia. His outstanding success was with the Lord of the Rings trilogy for which he received three Academy Awards®, two Golden Globes® and four Grammy® Awards,including the Grammy® for Best Song from a Motion Picture,“Into the West,” from The Return of the King.

Called “The hottest artist on the classical musical planet” by the New York Times, Lang Lang is one of the most popular classical pianists playing today. He was named one of Time magazine’s 100 Most Influential People in the world and was one of the headliners at the iTunes Festival in July 2011. His dazzling technique is matched by serious thought about the pieces he plays, and his performance of “Siegfried Idyll,” by Richard Wagner on this soundtrack, is nothing short of brilliant.the West,” from The Return of the King.

The score for Kon-Tiki was written by Swedish film composer Johan Söderqvist, who is amongst the most renowned film composers in the Scandinavian region.

Born in 1966 in Täby outside the capital, Söderqvist studied composition and arranging at the Royal College of Music in Stockholm. He wrote his debut film score in 1991 (Agnes Cecilia), and the same year wrote his first score for Danish director Susanne Bier (Freud Leaving Home). The soundtrack CD featuring both scores earned a Swedish Grammy for the composer. Bier remains a valuable colleague for Söderqvist, who has written the scores for most of her films, including Brothers (which won him the UCMF Film Music Award at the Cannes Film Festival), along with the Academy Award® nominated After the Wedding and In a Better World, winner of the Academy Award® for Best Foreign Film in 2011.

Söderqvist’s signature scores also include the acclaimed 2008 vampire thriller Let the Right One In by director Tomas Alfredson, for which So?derqvist was nominated for the European Film Award for Best Score and won the Bernard Hermann Award, and Effi Briest, the touching 2009 adaptation of Theodor Fontane’s popular novel.

Whilst writing the score for Kon-Tiki, Söderqvist worked primarily with Tormod Ringnes, one of Norway’s most prominent sound designers, with whom he had collaborated on Together (2009) and King of Devil’s Island (2010), along with Patrik Andre?n (Söderqvist’s assistant). The team worked together to create a soundtrack, a combination of music and sound effects that function as an emotional unit, with the aim of the audience not knowing where one starts and the other ends. Using Skype for daily discussions, they collaborated on cues and sound design concepts before Ringnes would show the sketches to the two directors in Oslo, Joachim Roenning and Espen Sandberg. Andre?n also provided additional music for the process.

A trademark of Söderqvist’s scores, Kon-Tiki is characterised by a unique atmosphere based on many exotic and unusual instruments recorded especially for this score.

“The first thing that came to my mind” says Söderqvist, “was the sound of the conch horn for Tiki, the God of the Sun in ancient Polynesian mythology. Tiki is omnipresent in the score; even the opening that still plays in Norway has a foreboding episode with the conch horn playing over the frozen lake. I looked high and low for a conch horn soloist, looking up websites in Polynesia and France, then I happened to find the best soloist right here in Stockholm! His name is Tommy Adolfsson. We scheduled a recording session where Tommy brought in his conch horns of all sizes. We mostly made use of the smaller and medium conch horns and found a way to play the instrument with much more air, a more ‘leaking’ sound a bit similar to the Armenian instrument called ‘Duduk’. In the end I think we found a very significant sound with an ‘ancient’ quality to it.”

There were also two major pre-recording sessions of percussion with three players playing on the largest drums they could find. This material was used to create initial sketches to find the tone of the film score.

“You never know if a recording is going to stand all the way to the final mix but in this case, both the conch and the drums helped us to set the tone of the film. When some of the first sketches were made, I sent them confidentially to Tormod and asked him not to show anything to the directors just yet, all I wanted was a little check through his fine ears... Apparently Tormod didn’t follow my orders and showed the sketches to the filmmakers who luckily loved the half-finished work. We had a direction and everyone was happy. The track on the album called ‘Tiki’ is an early recording of the conch horn, and to conclude the project it is also the last thing you hear on the album.”

" The Bernard Herrmann CD contains what is by far the best-recorded and -performed suite from Citizen Kane , including a sumptuous-sounding young Kiri Te Kanawa (in 1974, the year of her Met debut in Verdi’s Otello ) singing the treacherous “Salammbô” aria. Beneath the 12-Mile Reef is a terrible film, but the score demonstrates Herrmann’s amazing orchestration at its best including nine harps, electric bass, organ pedal, various combinations of low brass, and harp glissandos played with picks. This performance of the “Concerto Macabre” from Hangover Square renders the competition obsolete. Then, there is the “Death Hunt” from On Dangerous Ground . Scored for eight French horns, six trumpets, six trombones, and a formidable percussion section including a steel plate, this may be unmatched in its relentless ferocity."

Call Me by Your Name (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) Music is vital to director Luca Guadagnino's films, but he normally doesn't hire composers, and instead makes selections from pre-existing music. While the soundtrack for CALL ME BY YOUR NAME is a compilation of tracks by numerous musicians, Guadagnino decided he wanted to approach American singer-songwriter Sufjan Stevens to create a song especially for the film. "An artist for whom I have enormous admiration is Sufjan. His voice is fantastic and angelic, and his lyrics are so sharp and deep and full of sorrow and beauty. The music is so haunting. All these elements were the ones I wanted to envision in the film." - The soundtrack for CALL ME BY YOUR NAME also includes tracks by John Adams and Ryuichi Sakamoto as well as pieces written by Erik Satie, Maurice Ravel and Johann Sebastian Bach. As the film is set in the 1980s, Guadagnino chose period Italian pop music (including Giorgio Moroder & Joe Esposito's "Lady Lady Lady") for the radio, but particularly spotlights The Psychedelic Furs' anthem "Love My Way". "I love The Psychedelic Furs," says Guadagnino. "It's kind of autobiographical, because I remember listening to that song when I was seventeen and being completely affected by it. I wanted to pay homage to myself then." - CALL ME BY YOUR NAME is a sensual and transcendent tale of first love, based on the acclaimed novel by Andr� Aciman, written by Oscar� nominee James Ivory and starring Armie Hammer (The Social Network) and Timoth�e Chalamet (Interstellar, Homeland).

Starring Academy Award� nominee and Golden Globe Award winner Jessica Chastain, MOLLY'S GAME is based on the true story of Molly Bloom, an Olympic-class skier who ran the world's most exclusive high-stakes poker game for a decade before being arrested in the middle of the night by 17 FBI agents wielding automatic weapons. Her players included Hollywood royalty, sports stars, business titans and finally, unbeknownst to her, the Russian mob. Her only ally was her criminal defense lawyer Charlie Jaffey, played by Idris Elba, who learned that there was much more to Molly than the tabloids led us to believe. Speaking to the dynamic score he crafted for this engaging true-life thriller, composer Daniel Pemberton said, "I wanted to write it so it felt a bit more like a bunch of different bands had written the score than rather a solitary film composer. I wanted it to feel like something that came from inside Molly's world, the kind of music she would listen to or be surrounded by. It needed to feel contemporary, not like a traditional film score. But at the same time Aaron always wanted to give her a theme, one that would grow through the film into a big emotional resolution at the end, so it was important to work that into what I would do as well."

The Chamber is a claustrophobic survival thriller set beneath the Yellow Sea where the pilot of a small submersible craft and a three-man Special Ops team become trapped underwater in a fight for survival. A haunting, atmospheric score by James Dean Bradfield of the Manic Street Preachers (in his first work for film) adds to the claustrophobic tension of this taut survival thriller. “The sound design and soundtrack needed to be intertwined to create almost it’s own character in that small, claustrophobic space. James’ work on the film is not only able to stand on its own, as a beautifully atmospheric music score, it is a vital part of creating the mood of each scene… something that, as a filmmaker, is an asset in telling the story in the way I wanted it to come across.”, comments writer and director Ben Parker.

Masterworks Broadway will release the New York City Center Encores! Cast recording of Lerner & Loewe's Paint Your Wagon starring Keith Carradine, Justin Guarini and Alexandra Socha, on May 27, 2016. Filled with gorgeous standards such as "They Call the Wind Maria, " "I Talk to the Trees, " and "Wand'rin' Star, " Paint Your Wagon is Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe's sweepingly ambitious and surprisingly realistic take on freedom, family, and racism in the Gold Rush-happy America of 1853. The outstanding March 2015 production by Encores! #brought the almost-forgotten show back to New York's mainstream stage for the first time since the original Broadway production closed in 1952. And because the original cast album - an early limited capacity monaural LP - had omitted so much of the music, the score was ripe for rediscovery and a brand new recording. Helping to capture the spirit of the original Broadway production were the full handwritten scores used in 1951 by Franz Allers (Loewe's favorite musical director) and discovered accidentally by Rodgers & Hammerstein musicologist Bruce Pomahac at the bottom of a musty Warner Chappell trunk stored, curiously, at the R&H offices in New York. Album co-producer and Encores! Music Director Rob Berman leads the thirty member cast and thirty-one piece Encores! Orchestra, in the 2015 stereo cast album that celebrates the scope and riches of Lerner & Loewe's exceptional score. Much of the original dance music orchestrated by Trude Rittmann, created in close collaboration with both Loewe and choreographer Agnes de Mille, appears on this recording for the first time. Also recorded for the first time on this album is the bonus track "What Do Other Folks Do?" which was dropped from the original production before the show reached New York and whose historical importance is clear: Lerner and Loewe would later recycle the concept for Camelot's "What Do the Simple Folk Do?"

This new release features the score from the original MGM/FXP television series, Fargo. The show, created by Noah Hawley, is inspired by the 1996 film of the same name written and directed by the Coen brothers. This soundtrack is composed by Jeff Russo, who has also scored for shows such as The Unusuals, Crossing Jordan, and CSI: Cyber.
