The fourth studio album by the cello duo of
Luka Sulic and
Stjepan Hauser,
Score takes on favorites of the big and small screens, dating back as far as the '60s for
Henry Mancini's "Moon River." Later highlights include a medley of
Ramin Djawadi's music for TV's Game of Thrones, still in production at the time of the album's release.
2Cellos are joined here by none other than
the London Symphony Orchestra and conductor/arranger
Robin Smith, who puts appropriate focus on the duo's own cello arrangements. Other film music covered includes
Andrea Morricone's love theme for
Cinema Paradiso,
Ennio Morricone's "Malèna" from the 2000 film of the same name,
John Williams' main theme from
Schindler's List, and
Vangelis' famous theme from
Chariots of Fire.
Score became the project's third Billboard classical number one. [
Score was also released in a two-disc CD/DVD Deluxe Edition featuring the live concert DVD Score...and More: Live at the Sydney Opera House, filmed in Australia with
the Sydney Symphony Orchestra.] ~ Marcy Donelson
