"Andrei Sigle's moving compositions recall the sweep of late 19th century Russian composers..." - Variety

"A soothing wash of meditative, symphonic sound that’s the definition of film scoring as the new form of classical music. Prokofiev, on a calm day, would definitely approve." - IF Magazine

"A lovely score, which I would highly recommend in particular to lovers of both melodic classical music and symphonic film music of the golden days. I hope to hear more of this composer's work in the future." - Screensounds

"An exquisitely shaped piece of work... The score is richly harmonic; melodies are subdued and understated, the score’s foremost impression is one of passion and melancholy." - Randall Larson's Soundtrax

"An extremely beautiful but sad score for the film. The music is unadorned and intimate... Its classical palette is a highlight. Highly Recommended." - Sounds of the Cinema

Performed by Polar Music Prize winning conductor Valery Gergiev's Orchestra of the Mariinsky Theatre, Russian composer Andrey Sigle's score for Alexander Sokurov's award-winning drama Alexandra, is an immensely beautiful and emotional film score with a distinct classical sound.

The film, which was nominated to the 2007 Golden Palm at the Cannes Film Festival, tells the story about an elderly woman who visits her grandson at his army camp inside Chechnya. Sigle's orchestral score is both intimate and grand, filled with evocative themes and warm and passionate orchestrations. Cinema Without Border's wrote that the music is "ever evocative and never intrusive, beautiful in its own right" and "haunts with an indelible impression."

Our release of the soundtrack co-incides with the US DVD release of the film on April 7.
