A Collection of Weird and Wonderful Music from the Dark Fantasy and Gothic Film World of Tim Burton 'The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra play this music for all they're worth with a suitably wide-screen balance'- Gramophone “Superb compilation” - *****Starburst Magazine Film director Tim Burton’s long working relationship with maverick composer Danny Elfman is the main subject of this collection of the very best music from Burton’s quirky and often dark films. Through the collaboration lasting over 25 years Elfman created one of the most distinctive and recognizable bodies of work in contemporary film music, bringing his talents to Burton’s spine chilling fantasy world populated by superheroes, monsters and freaks. Working together since 1985, starting off with the hit Pee-Wee's Big Adventure, Elfman and Burton reunited frequently in the years to come. Burton has said of Elfman:
"We don't even have to talk about the music. We don't even have to intellectualize - which is good for both of us, we're both similar that way. We're very lucky to connect" "I remember a teacher once asked me, what makes music sad? What a brilliant question. His answer was - it takes on the physical qualities of something sad… I guess what's wonderful about music is that it's utterly abstract and yet has a great kind of sinuous, subjective emotional reaction. I like the idea that music can be dimensional, that it's not necessarily playing what's there."
- Thomas Newman Performed by The City of Prague Philharmonic and London Music Works |
