Decca Gold will release a soundtrack album for the British drama Mrs. Lowry & Son. The album features the film’s original music composed by Craig Armstrong (Moulin Rouge!, The Great Gatsby, The Incredible Hulk, Love Actually, Romeo + Juliet). The soundtrack will be released digitally tomorrow, August 27 and will be available to download on Amazon, where you can also check out audio samples. Mrs. Lowry & Son is directed by Adrian Noble (The Importance of Being Earnest) and stars Timothy Spall and Vanessa Redgrave. The movie examines the relationship between British painter L.S.

So glad Craig has done this soundtrack. Love his work. Can’t wait to buy the vinyl.
Does anyone know the piano pieces played by the mother? I’m not sure but one sounded like Chopin?
1st piece is Kathleen Ferrier sings “An die Musik” and the 2nd is
The Nocturne No.20 in C-sharp minor, Op. posth. by Chopin
“Does anyone know the piano pieces played by the mother? I’m not sure but one sounded like Chopin?”
I too would like to know this… Tried shazam and looking through the credits to no avail.
Is there a piano music book for this film? If so, where can I buy it? Thanks.
