Quartet Records presents the premiere release of the emotional, heartfelt score by renowned composer Carter Burwell (FARGO, CAROL, ROB ROY, A KNIGHT TALE) for the 1992 drama WATERLAND, directed by Stephen Gyllenhaal and starring Jeremy Irons, Ethan Hawk, Sinéad Cusack and Lena Headey.

The film is set in Pittsburgh in 1974, where a high-school history teacher seeking closure tells his class about his experiences as a teenager in England after World War II.

Carter Burwell wrote one of his most melancholic and heartbreaking scores, indebted to other works from the period such as MILLER’S CROSSING, AND THE BAND PLAYED ON and BARTON FINK, with a profound love theme and dramatic passages that evoke nostalgia for times past. Written for orchestra and choir, the music is conducted by Burwell.

This is one of Carter Burwell’s most sought-after scores, but it has never before been released. The album has been produced and supervised by the composer, mastered by Chris Malone, and the booklet includes an exclusive, in-depth essay by Daniel Schweiger, including interviews with the composer, the director and the producers of the film.
