HOUSE OF CARDS SYMPHONY (2CD)

Beal, Jeff
Price(USD): $41.50
Label: KING INTERNATIONAL(JPN)
CD No: KKC-4144
Release Date: 2018/08/24
Format: 2CD

This release grew out of the fascination of Robert von Bahr, founder and managing director of BIS Records, for the television series House of Cards. It wasnt only or even primarily the script or the acting that grabbed him, however, but just as much the music. Said and done Jeff Beal, the composer of the House of Cards soundtrack, was contacted and it was soon decided that he should compose a Flute Concerto for the virtuosic Sharon Bezaly. To complement the concerto a selection of music from the series was agreed upon, but with five seasons worth of installments to choose from, this quickly grew into a large-scale House of Cards Symphony which at 83 minutes takes up an album all on its own. So now the decision was made to record and present a lavish release, with three further works: Six Sixteen for guitar and orchestra (performed by Grammy winner Jason Vieaux), Canticle for strings and a brand new House of Cards Fantasy for flute and orchestra. The Norrkoping Symphony Orchestra has received international acclaim for its recordings of the hyper-intense music of modernist Allan Pettersson, but here, under the direction of the composer himself, it has taken to the new idiom and welcomes the additional instruments necessary to bring out that House of Cards feeling: electric guitar and bass guitar, drum kit, piano and flugelhorn.
Contains Japanese Obi and Japanese translation sleeve. SACD format.

Release Date: Mid 2018/8/24
