Produced by Lorne Balfe and Cecile Tournesac, and mastered by Reuben Cohen, this remarkable and unique musical journey is a fascinating window into the composer’s creative process. The CDs art design is by Dan Goldwasser and the CD Booklet includes a note from the composer.

“It’s great when we can have a standalone album to showcase the Suites and Themes from the Film, “says composer Lorne Balfe. “It’s a whole new listening experience for the fans whilst giving a deeper insight into the characters and the emotion.
