Product DescriptionAcademy-Award-winning composer Elliot Goldenthal teams up with Tony-Award winning director Julie Taymor on a feature-film adaptation of Shakespeare's last play The Tempest, with an all-star cast, including Helen Mirren as Prospera. The Film hits theaters December 10th 2010.
Goldenthal's indie-rock driven original score album features vocals by Beth Gibbons (Portishead) and Reeve Carney (Carney, star of Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark, on Broadway) and musicians Benjamin Curtis (Secret Machines), Page Hamilton (Helmet), Mark Stewart (Steve Reich, Ornette Coleman) as well as the composer himself on keyboards to bring the surreal world of the film alive. Haunting ballads, psychedelic up-tempo instrumentals and orchestral electronica round out this unique listening experience.
This is Goldenthal's maiden release on his Zarathustra Music label. A composer for theater, opera and the concert stage, Goldenthal received the Oscar for his score to FRIDA, has scored numerous other films including DRUGSTORE COWBOY, INTERVIEW WITH A VAMPIRE, HEAT, ALIEN 3, BATMAN FOREVER, and recently PUBLIC ENEMIES.
