Music Composed by Shigeru Umebayashi
Performed by Brussels Philharmonic & Vlaams Radiokoor
Conducted by Dirk Brossé
Presented by Film Fest Ghent
This year, Film Fest Ghent has recorded new music for the expanded reissues of three previously released albums, which will be distributed internationally in the ‘Music For Film’ album series:
Shigeru Umebayashi – Music For Film |
Gabriel Yared – Music For Film |
Mychael Danna – Music For Film
Shigeru Umebayashi is an internationally renowned composer who is best known for creating ‘Yumeji’s Theme’ for Wong Karwai’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.
This 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 a new arrangement from his breakthrough score, Moyou from Sorekara, which features in the film The Grandmaster.
“Umebayashi’s oeuvre can be found at the confluence of Western and Eastern music. It is unique, stylistically original, authentic in colour and has its own character. Its vibrant intensity transports us. It is Ume” – Dirk Brossé – Musical Director – Film Fest Ghent
