MARIA CALLAS / VARIOUS - Maria (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) - 2LP - Gatefold Vinyl [JAN 17]

2LP - 140g Black Vinyl housed in a Gatefold Sleeve. 

The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack from the movie Maria, directed by Pablo Larraín, written by Steven Knight, which delves into the tumultuous final days of the iconic opera singer in 1970s Paris, interpreted by Angelina Jolie. The producer of the soundtrack is John Warhurst, the sound engineer of Freddy Mercury’s biopic Bohemian Rhapsody. John’s extraordinary work involved immersing Callas's voice in a contemporary sound environment, so that the album contains the most beautiful and iconic arias by Maria Callas, and for the first time since her death, Callas's voice resonates in a completely new setting. Through this work, Callas's voice has never felt so present and current.
