Film Fest Gent has announced the new album Elliot Goldenthal – Music for Film featuring music by the recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award at this year’s World Soundtrack Awards, including all-new studio recordings of selected scores by the  composer performed by the Brussels Philharmonic and conducted by the festival’s music director Dirk Brossé. The album includes two new concert suites for his Academy Award-winning score from Julie Taymor’s Frida, The Grand Gothic Suite, which includes highlights from his Grammy-nominated score for Joel Schumacher’s Batman Forever and his never commercially unreleased score for Batman & Robin, the suite Final Fantasia, which celebrates his music for Hironobu Sakaguchi’s Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within and a suite from his score for David Fincher’s Alien 3. Other titles included on the record are Interview with the Vampire & Michael Collins (for both of which he received Academy Award nominations), as well as Public Enemies, Heat and Titus. The CD will be released during the 51st edition of Film Fest Gent in October and is now available to order on the festival’s website. The album licensed to Silva Screen Records will be also available digitally and physically in other music stores.
