Following their acclaimed mixtape series, Light and Shadow is the sixth album from Orchestra of the Swan and David Le Page. Featuring works by Peter Gabriel, Thomas Newman, and Radiohead alongside music by composers more widely accepted in the classical genre such as Ennio Morricone, Bernard Herrmann, and Ryuichi Sakamoto, this latest installment promises to take you on a compelling, imaginative journey – bridging musical genres such as jazz and electronics in their signature “Swan” style. All selections are arranged by David LePage.
Another beautiful and eclectic program by Orchestra of the Swan, focusing this time on soundtrack music. Everything here was either written for or used in film or TV, with inclusions like Solsbury Hill by Peter Gabriel and Exit Music by Radiohead. There’s also a lively rendition of Miserlou that returns Dick Dale’s surf-rock classic to its Turkish roots. Add in some Twin Peaks and American Beauty along the way, and you’ve got a cinematic aural journey from beginning to end.
