Ryuichi Sakamoto - Ryuichi Sakamoto (Music For Film) '2016/2024

Tracks list

From small beginnings in 1974 as a local cinema and university event, Film Fest
Gent has grown yearly in stature and is now recognised as one of the major
destinations for the film industry. A vital component is the celebration of film
music in the shape of the World Soundtrack Awards which honours the very best
composers at work in the world of cinema. In 2016 the award goes to one of the
most brilliant composers of his generation, Ryuichi Sakamoto. This is the first
overview of his remarkable catalogue of film scores, fully approved by the
composer and performed by the masterful Brussels Philharmonic under the baton of
Dirk Brossé. Sakamoto was already a celebrated pioneer in electronic music
and composer/pianist/singer in Japan when director Nagisa Oshima asked him to
write the score for Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence in 1983 and also to star
alongside David Bowie. In a 30 year plus career since then he has worked with
the cream of film directors including Bernardo Bertolucci (The Last Emperor),
Brian De Palma (Snake Eyes), Pedro Almodovar (High Heels) and most recently
Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu (The Revenant). This compilation is a fitting
tribute to his status as one of the greatest living musicians and film
composers.
