Hildur Guðnadóttir
The renowned Icelandic composer and cellist Hildur Guðnadóttir, in collaboration with Deutsche Grammophon, presents her latest soundtrack project – a visionary concept album for Todd Field's film TÁR. In this multi-award-winning work, Cate Blanchett takes on the role of conductor Lydia Tár and received an award at the Venice Film Festival for her impressive performance. The album combines soundtrack passages with pieces inspired by the film's narrative, including newly composed works by Guðnadóttir as well as excerpts from compositions by Mahler and Elgar. Through its realistic rendering of the music featured in the film, the album complements the story's rich atmosphere and offers insights into the complex creative process. Director Todd Field emphasizes that both the album and the film make audible and visible the challenges inherent in the creative process. The release is now also available on vinyl and is already considered a contender for the most important film awards of the 2022/23 season.
