River
Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Australian Chamber Orchestra, Richard Tognetti
***
From director Jennifer Peedom and the Australian Chamber Orchestra comes River, a powerful collaboration created as a companion to their record-breaking production Mountain.
River is an extraordinary tale of nature and humans as partners and adversaries: rivers have shaped the earth and shaped the human species.
We love and abuse rivers, worship and pollute them, flood them for wealth and turn to them for solace.
This CD album presents the soundtrack from a cinematic experience like no other, with music by Bach, Vivaldi, Ravel, Mahler, Sibelius, Jonny Greenwood, Richard Tognetti and more, including a new collaboration with William Barton.
