Alexandre Desplat is one of the most sought-after composers in the movie business today. He has generated a diverse, enduring cult fanbase of movie-music enthusiasts of all ages, and increasingly is bringing the art form to live audiences beyond the realm of cinema, dedicating more time to performing and conducting his own music with world-class orchestras for sellout crowds in concert halls and opera houses in Vienna, Shanghai, and beyond. Alexandre Desplat: Paris—Hollywood documents the latest instance. This recording captures some of the brightest treasures from four decades of movie-music magic by one of the great modern masters of film-score wizardry. Desplat conducts the Orchestre de Paris in new arrangements of music from 15 of his best-known film scores.
