Craig Armstrong: Music for Film (2-CD)

As part of the 25th anniversary celebration of the World Soundtrack Awards, Film Fest Gent presents Craig Armstrong: Music for Film, an expanded reissue of its very first official album (originally released in 2007). Consisting of studio recordings now available internationally for the first time, the album features highlights from Craig Armstrong’s film works, performed by the Brussels Philharmonic and Vlaams Radiokoor and conducted by Film Fest Gent music director Dirk Brossé.

The album contains selections from Craig Armstrong’s scores for Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo + Juliet and Moulin Rouge! – including a new cover of his arrangement of “One Day I’ll Fly Away” –, Phillip Noyce’s The Bone Collector and The Quiet American, Richard Curtis’s Love Actually and Oliver Stone’s World Trade Center. For this expanded edition, three pieces have been additionally recorded: the “Love Theme” from Thomas Vinterberg’s Far from the Madding Crowd and “Dark Red Theme 1” and “Dark Red Theme 3” from Paul McGuigan’s Victor Frankenstein.

Craig Armstrong: Music for Film is released by Silva Screen Records. Other available Film Fest Gent albums feature the work of Angelo Badalamenti, Marco Beltrami, Terence Blanchard, Carter Burwell, Mychael Danna, Elliot Goldenthal, Cliff Martinez, Mark Isham, Laurence Rosenthal, Alan Silvestri, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Shigeru Umebayashi, Debbie Wiseman and Gabriel Yared.
