Deutsche Grammophon will release the official soundtrack album for the Netflix original film Maestro. The album features the music from the biographical drama composed by Leonard Bernstein and performed by the London Symphony Orchestra, recorded in early 2023 at AIR Studios in London under the direction of Yannick Nezet-Seguin (who served as director/lead actor Bradley Cooper’s conducting consultant). The soundtrack will be released digitally on November 17 and physically (on CD and vinyl) on December 1. Visit Amazon to order the CD version and click here to order the 2-vinyl edition within the next few days. A first track (the Finale of Mahler’s Symphony No. 2 “Resurrection”, conducted by Yannick Nézet-Séguin and Bradley Cooper) is being released this week and can also be checked out below. Maestro is co-written and directed by Cooper and also stars Carey Mulligan, Matt Bomer, Sarah Silverman, Maya Hawke and Josh Hamilton. The movie chronicles the lifelong relationship of the conductor-composer and Felicia Montealegre Cohn Bernstein. The drama which premiered at this year’s Venice Film Festival, will be released in theaters on November 22 before making its streaming debut on December 20 on Netflix.
