RELEASE DESCRIPTION

Following the success of vinyl releases featuring Ryuichi Sakamoto and Alan Silvestri in the same series, this double LP on white vinyl in a distinctive gatefold sleeve features world-class recording by Brussels Philharmonic conducted by Dirk Brossé of Shigeru Umebayashi’s most impressive work.

Presented by Film Fest Ghent, Shigeru Umebayashi - Music For Film is the sixth album from the series on Silva Screen Records. This year, Silva Screen is honored to release three albums of music by three outstanding composers, Shigeru Umebayashi, Mychael Danna, and Gabriel Yared, featuring previously unreleased music, recorded by the Brussels Philharmonic under the baton of Dirk Brossé.

Shigeru Umebayashi - Music For Film is an updated version of Film Fest Ghent’s 2010 tribute to the composer’s work which featured his most celebrated music. This edition includes material that has not been otherwise released featuring two pieces from A Single Man, a cue from the anthology film Hero and ‘Moyou’, a new arrangement from his breakthrough score Sorekara, which features in the film The Grandmaster.

Shigeru Umebayashi is an internationally renowned composer who is best known for creating ‘Yumeji’s Theme’ for Wong Kar-wai’s film In The Mood For Love. In addition to collaborating with Wong Kar-wai on 2046, Umebayashi was the music producer and composer for Zhang Yimou’s films House Of Flying Daggers and Curse Of The Golden Flower.
