MATHILDE/Marco Beltrami/Moviescore Media – digital(CD forthcoming from Quartet)
Marco Beltrami has composed a sophisticated and admirable score for this lavish historical Russian costumed drama film, performed by the world-class musicians of the Mariinsky Opera, conducted by the world-renowned Valery Gergiev. The film tells the story of the supposed romantic relationship between the heir to the Russian throne, Nicholas Romanov, and the ballerina of the Imperial Theater, Matilda Kshesinskaya. "I was immediately drawn to the story, the costumes, the sets… it was simply a gorgeous looking movie" said Beltrami about the film. With a brevity of themes, the composer enriches both the historical environment and the romantic drama between the protagonists, emphasizing their forbidden affair while providing some interesting thematic elements for other characters and a variety of action music that comes their way during the story (the tracks “Twilight of the Empire” with its urgent violin bowing, the introduction to the main theme in “Mathilde and the Balloon Ride,” the frantic panic of “Bear Fight” with its yowling brasses, the dark and mystical vision of “Fishel's Holograph,” as well as “Dance Fight,” “Dress Reversal,” “Dream Kiss,” and the post-End Title “Mathilde’s Theme” reprise are particularly provocative and effusive favorites. It’s a thoroughly excellent score; an attractive, passionate, and thought-provoking, richly woven soundscape. MSM released the soundtrack digitally on March 16, 2018, with Quartet Records issuing a physical CD release in the near future. For more details, see MovieScore Media
