This release marks the first vinyl pressing of the beautiful orchestral score from Baz Luhrmann’s 2013 film, The Great Gatsby. The Grammy© nominated score was composed by Craig Armstrong and features guest performances by Lana Del Rey, The xx, and The Bryan Ferry Orchestra.
The 2LP is printed on “Green Light” vinyl and housed in a gatefold jacket printed with a gorgeous high gloss finish.
The audio has been mastered for vinyl by Levi Seitz at Black Belt Mastering.
“Composing the score for Baz on The Great Gatsby was a very special time in my musical life.
Working with Baz and Anton and my music team Scott, Geoff, Emma, Clio, Matt, and the inspiring orchestral musicians was a unique collaborative experience.
I remember the many sessions in Glasgow [often in the snow] and beautiful Sydney fondly.
Baz is a truly inspirational artist, and I was fortunate he trusted me to write the score for his unique vision of F Scott Fitzgerald’s novel.
More than anything I remember we had a lot of fun as well as pushing ourselves to be the best that we could be.
I saw the film recently 12 years after the premiere at Cannes. I found it to be very beautiful, profound, and moving and it reminded me of our great journey together.”
