Rachel Portman: Beyond the Screen

Rachel Portman has curated some of her most cherished film music for solo piano. She refers to the piano as her best friend, adding "I spend all day with it, most days. I think probably I'm pianistic in my soul." Hence, piano miniatures are a natural second life for her highly melodic scores. This album comprises various solo piano arrangements by the composer based on her well-known soundtracks such as Chocolat; The Cider House Rules and The Duchess as well as a piano suite from her Oscar-winning original score Emma. 96 pages.
