Film Fest Gent has announced the new album Mark Isham – Music for Film. The album features music by the guest of honor of this year’s World Soundtrack Awards, including studio recordings of concert suites from the composer’s scores for A River Runs Through It (for which he received his first Academy Award nomination), 42, American Crime, The Black Dahlia, Eight Below and this year’s The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, selections from Isham’s music from Judas and the Black Messiah and The Moderns & more. All music on this album is performed by the Brussels Philharmonic and conducted by Dirk Brossé. Trumpet solos on selected pieces are played by Isham himself and the Los Angeles Philharmonic’s principal trumpet Thomas Hooten. The album will be released during the 49th edition of Film Fest Gent in October and is now available to order on the festival’s website.
