“The Phantom Carriage” (Körkarlen)
Music composed and arranged for orchestra by Matti Bye
Rotor 2003, ROTORCD001
|
|
| Recorded
at a four day run of the movie at Cinemateket in Stockholm in 1998,
this is music written for a ten man orchestra to accompany the dark
and redemptive movie by Victor Sjöström. In the liner
notes the composer says that the film is, "a miracle play about
the love of a Salvation Army slum sister, a New Year's legend about
misery, passion, forgiveness and revelation. It is one of the finest
movies that I have ever played to."
Listen to samples from the album:
Tango
— Happy
Georges — The
Coach — Disappointment
— Reconciliation
These samples are low bitrate mp3s, the album sounds better
