Dragon's Domain Records presents the original motion picture soundtrack to SOPHIE'S CHOICE, featuring music composed and conducted by Marvin Hamlisch for the 1982 romantic drama directed by Alan J. Pakula, written by William Styron and Pakula, starring Meryl Streep, Kevin Kline and Peter MacNicol.
Released in 1982, SOPHIE'S CHOICE follows Stingo (MacNicol),a young writer from the South who travels to post-World War II Brooklyn and is befriended by Sophie (Streep), a beautiful Polish immigrant and her lover, Nathan (Kline). As Stingo gets to know them better, he learns that Sophie is a Holocaust survivor and the film reveals her harrowing story, from pre-war prosperity to Auschwitz. As Sophie recounts her story, her relationship with Nathan begins to slowly unravel and Nathan's fragile mental state becomes more apparent...
As a composer, Marvin Hamlisch won virtually every major award that exists: three Oscars, four Grammys, four Emmys, a Tony, three Golden Globe Awards, and the Pulitzer Prize. For Broadway, Hamlisch wrote the music for his groundbreaking show A CHORUS LINE, as well as THEY'RE PLAYING OUR SONG,THE GOODBYE GIRL and SWEET SMELL OF SUCCESS. Additional theatrical scores include JEAN SEBERG and THE NUTTY PROFESSOR.
He was the composer of more than 40 motion picture scores, including his Oscar-winning score and song for THE WAY WE WERE and his adaptation of Scott Joplin's music for THE STING, for which he received a third Oscar. His prolific output of scores for films includes original compositions and/or musical adaptations for SOPHIE'S CHOICE, ORDINARY PEOPLE, THE SWIMMER,THREE MEN AND A BABY, ICE CASTLES, TAKE THE MONEY AND RUN, BANANAS, SAVE THE TIGER and THE INFORMANT!, starring Matt Damon and directed by Steven Soderbergh.
Hamlisch held the position of principal pops conductor for the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra, Dallas Symphony Orchestra, Pasadena Symphony and Pops, Seattle Symphony, San Diego Symphony, The Buffalo Philharmonic and The National Symphony Orchestra in Washington, D.C. At the time of his death in 2012, he was preparing to assume responsibilities as principal pops conductor for The Philadelphia Orchestra. Hamlisch was a graduate of the Juilliard School of Music and Queens College, where he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree.
Originally released in the early days of the compact disc format by Southern Cross Records, Dragon's Domain Records is excited to bring SOPHIE'S CHOICE back to the marketplace, with the music remastered by James Nelson at Digital Outland, retaining liner notes that include a note from director Alan J. Pakula.
