Johnston: Film Music from Brideshead Revisited
|
| Directed by Julian Jarrold, Evelyn Waugh’s novel, Brideshead Revisited receives its first cinematic adaptation this summer with a cast which includes Academy-Award winner Emma Thompson, Michael Gambon, Matthew Goode, Hayley Atwell and Ben Whishaw. The screenplay is written by Jeremy Brock and Andrew Davies. |
Brideshead Revisited follows the memoirs of Charles Ryder and his involvement with the Flyte family who own the Brideshead Estate. It relives the hedonistic days of 1920s Oxford University and tells an evocative story of forbidden love and the loss of innocence with particular focus on Charles’s relationship with brother and sister, Sebastian and Julia and their mother, Lady Marchmain.
Chandos is delighted to have been given the opportunity to record Adrian Johnston’s soundtrack, the first original film score on Chandos Movies. Having won both BAFTA and Emmy Awards for his scores, Adrian Johnston has had an impressive career in television and film to date including Becoming Jane, Kinky Boots, The Mayor of Casterbridge and White Teeth.
Adrian Johnston writes of the Brideshead Revisited recording “I was thrilled to have an opportunity to work with Chandos – a label whose philosophy I have always liked, and whose CDs of Philip Lane’s fine film score reconstructions I have particularly admired. I know that to release a ‘non historical’ film score was somewhat of a departure for the label, but I hope that Brideshead Revisited can somehow exist as a Chandos product, and perhaps open up the way for future film music collaborations.”
The BBC Philharmonic is conducted by Olivier Award winner Terry Davies who has a wide range of credits in film, theatre and TV including Shakespeare in Love, Becoming Jane, House of Mirth and A Midsummer Night's Dream. |
Reviews

'The orchestral playing under Terry Davies catches the air of languor in the music so well and there are well deserved credits for the contributions on violin, cello, guitar and piano. It’s a fine achievement and one that can hold its head alongside Geoffrey Burgon’s benchmark score for the Granada TV series from 1981.'
Gramophone

'For his score of the new film adaptation, Adrian Johnston eschews the grand classicism of Burgon’s approach to create a more contemporary post-minimalist score that embraces the emotional and psychological complexities of Evelyn Waugh’s novel of class and desire. At once sophisticated and ironic, warm and lyrical, Johnston’s superb score, performed by the BBC Philharmonic and conducted by the award-winning Terry Davies, is all the more remarkable for its effortless and exquisite elegance'
