Rachel Portman: Beyond the Screen / Film Works on Piano

Description

With Beyond the Screen, Rachel Portman has curated some of her most cherished film music for solo piano. She refers to the piano as her best friend, adding “I spend all day with it, most days. I think probably I'm pianistic in my soul.” Hence, piano miniatures are a natural second life for her highly melodic scores. The album comprises various new solo piano arrangements by the composer based on her well-known soundtracks such as Chocolat, The Cider House Rules, or The Duchess, as well as a piano suite from her Oscar-winning original score Emma.
