Quartet Records has released a compilation album comprising all the three films scored by Academy Award-nominated composer Bruno Coulais for film director BenoĂ®t Jacquot. The album includes the original score for the period drama Farewell, My Queen (Les adieux Ă la reine), which was recorded with a full symphony orchestra at Air Studios in London. Also featured on the release are selections of Coulais’ music for the 2009 film Villa Amalia starring Isabelle Huppert and the 2010 period drama Au fond des bois.

Farewell, My Queen starring Diane Kruger, Lea Seydoux and Virginie Ledoyen is based on the novel of the same name by Chantal Thomas and is set during the first 3 days of the French Revolution, as seen from the perspective of the Private reader of Marie Antoinette at Versailles.
