Varese Sarabande will release a soundtrack album for Ethan Hawke’s documentary Seymour: An Introduction. The album features original performances and compositions by the film’s subject Seymour Bernstein. The soundtrack will be released digitally on April 14, 2015 and is now available for pre-order on Amazon, where you can als listen to audio clips. Seymour: An Introduction centers on Bernstein, a virtuoso pianist, veteran New Yorker, and true original who gave up a successful concert career to teach music, as he tells the story from his life and eye-opening words of wisdom, as well as insightful reflections on art, creativity, and the search for fulfillment. The movie premiered at last year’s Telluride and Toronto Film Festival and was released in select theaters last month by Sundance Selects/IFC Films.
