About the album
This is multi-BAFTA and Ivor Novello award winning composer Martin Phipps’ soundtrack to the landmark 2016 BBC/The Weinstein Company television drama, WAR AND PEACE. An utterly original and innovative soundtrack, Martin has written in the style of Rachmaninov and Vangelis, and mixed that with Russian choral music, giving size and scale to the works and adding a real human voice to highlight the personal stories told in a huge context.
Regarded as one of the greatest novels of all time, Leo Tolstoy’s timeless story was told over six one-hour episodes directed by Tom Harper, starring Paul Dano (12 YEARS A SLAVE, PRISONERS, THERE WILL BE BLOOD), Lily James (CINDERELLA, DOWNTON ABBEY) and James Norton (HAPPY VALLEY, BELLE, GRANTCHESTER).
Martin Phipps is one of the UK’s most in-demand composers for film and TV. He scored The Weinstein Company’s WOMAN IN GOLD with Hans Zimmer, along with countless other BAFTA and Ivor Novello award winning film and TV scores. He is known for his unique combination of traditional and innovative composition techniques, resulting in music that subliminally connects, and which is unbound by time or genre.
