Album insights

Jóhann Jóhannsson was among the most sought-after and innovative film composers of a new generation in Hollywood until his tragic death. His groundbreaking scores for Villeneuve's films "Sicario," "Arrival," and "Prisoners" were globally acclaimed. In 2015, he won the Golden Globe for Best Original Score for "Theory of Everything." Combining classical minimalism with electronic and classical elements defined his musical style. The previously unreleased music for the film "Gemeinsam stärker" (2009) featuring Ashton Kutcher & Michelle Pfeiffer will be released on vinyl by Deutsche Grammophon on May 29. David Hollander, the director and screenwriter, expressed his excitement about their collaboration, highlighting Jóhannsson's ability to enhance the film's visuals and emotions beyond his imagination.
