Quartet Records presents the premiere release of the emotional, heartfelt score by renowned composer Carter Burwell (FARGO, CAROL, ROB ROY, A KNIGHT TALE) for the 1992 drama WATERLAND, directed by Stephen Gyllenhaal and starring Jeremy Irons, Ethan Hawk, Sinead Cusack and Lena Headey.
The film is set in Pittsburgh in 1974, where a high-school history teacher seeking closure tells his class about his experiences as a teenager in England after World War II.
Carter Burwell wrote one of his most melancholic and heartbreaking scores, indebted to other works from the period such as MILLER’S CROSSING, AND THE BAND PLAYED ON and BARTON FINK, with a profound love theme and dramatic passages that evoke nostalgia for times past. Written for orchestra and choir, the music is conducted by Burwell.
This is one of Carter Burwell’s most sought-after scores, but it has never before been released. The album has been produced and supervised by the composer, mastered by Chris Malone, and the booklet includes an exclusive, in-depth essay by Daniel Schweiger, including interviews with the composer, the director and the producers of the film.
作曲家カーター・バーウェル（『ファーゴ』『キャロル』『ロブ・ロイ』『イニシェリン島の精霊』）による、1992年公開、イギリス現代文学の大家、グレアム・スウィフトの名作を映画化したヒューマン・ドラマ『秘密』の感動的で心温まるスコアが初リリース！

舞台は1974年のピッツバーグ。高校の歴史教師が、第二次世界大戦後のイギリスで過ごした10代の体験を、心の整理をつけるために生徒たちに語る。
カーター・バーウェルは、この作品で最も憂鬱で胸を締めつけるようなスコアの一つを書き上げた。その作風は『ミラーズ・クロッシング』『運命の瞬間／そしてエイズは蔓延した』『バートン・フィンク』といった同時代の作品の影響を受けつつ、深い愛のテーマと過去への郷愁を呼び起こす劇的なパッセージが特徴だ。オーケストラと合唱団のために書かれた音楽は、バーウェル自身が指揮を担当している。
カーター・バーウェル作品の中でも最も入手困難なスコアの一つでありながら、これまで未発表だった本作。アルバムは作曲家自身がプロデュース・監修を担当し、クリス・マローンがマスタリングを手がけた。ブックレットにはダニエル・シュワイガーによる独占詳細解説を収録。作曲家、監督、プロデューサーへのインタビューも掲載されている。
