This is the CD edition. This edition was released on February 3, 2015.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA vital element in the success of record-breaking 2013 British drama Broadchurch was the hauntingly beautiful, BAFTA Award-winning score by the young Icelandic composer ?lafur Arnalds. To coincide with the arrival of a much-anticipated second series of Broadchurch in January 2015, Mercury Classics is releasing a full soundtrack album of musical highlights from both series.brbrThe first series of Broadchurch, about a hunt for the killer of a young boy in a small coastal community, rapidly became a bona fide national obsession (Entertainment Weekly). Produced by Kudos for ITV, it gained an audience of 10 million viewers, making it the highest-rated drama on the UK s main commercial channel. When it was later screened in France, it immediately broke a long-standing viewing record on the channel France 2 and peaked at 7.3 million viewers. The show has enjoyed similar international success in 135 countries; and generated ITV s largest ever Twitterstorms of more than 470,000 viewers comments, many of them about the music. The critical response was equally impressive, and particular emphasis was placed on the score. In addition to scooping three BAFTA Awards (including Best Drama Series), it won another BAFTA Craft Award for Arnalds emotionally powerful and austere soundscapes. Among a host of other prizes and nominations, the series gained the Best Music spot at the prestigious Bulldog Awards presented by Televisual, the principal magazine of the TV production industry.br brIn the Radio Times, Alison Graham wrote, The terrific music is important in building Broadchurch s chilly atmosphere and dark mood. Like the best music, it s unobtrusive and doesn t tell you what you should be feeling. In the New York Times, Mike Hale called the score a tasty icing of gloom and foreboding , and Televisual commented that the soundtrack was as big as the Broadchurch landscape... and as melancholic as its tragedy and hidden secrets. brbrIt is fitting that the score should be praised as highly as Broadchurch as a whole. Author Chris Chibnall was a long-term fan of ?lafur Arnalds albums which combine contemporary classical influences, avant-garde electronics, and evocative ambient sounds and listened to them when writing the script. The mysterious and melancholy atmosphere of the show had Arnalds music in its creative DNA from the very beginning.brbrAfter getting a green light for his project, Chibnall then approached Arnalds (via his website) to compose the score. The Icelander was just 26 when he was commissioned, but was already a hugely successful composer and performer both in his homeland and internationally. ?lafur s music just broke my heart. I instinctively felt if we could get him, it would be amazing, said Chibnall. In a remarkably short space of time, Arnalds created an atmospheric and hypnotic score which captured both the mood and direction of the plot and the imaginations of millions of viewers. He assigned evocative themes to the most important characters and elements of the story, including the bleak and dominating Broadchurch cliffs (which are in reality part of the UK s spectacular Jurassic Coast, a World Heritage Site in Dorset.) The music is a narrative all of its own, commented Chibnall.brbrThe austere and otherworldly score, composed for string quartet, piano and synthesizer, was recorded in an empty church in Reykjavik. The soundtrack also included a song, So Close , sung by Arn?r Dan and performed at the end of each episode: Chris Chibnall s lyrics teasingly contained a clue to the identity of the killer of young Danny Latimer.br brWith the advent of the second Broadchurch series in January 2015 already widely being hailed as the most eagerly anticipated television highlight of the year - a full album with music from both parts is available for the first time\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mercury","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47617578074330,"sku":"028948114856","price":22.79,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0799\/7787\/3626\/files\/BROADCHURCHOLAFURARNALDS_rfd4tb.jpg?v=1771648065"},{"product_id":"olafur-arnalds-some-kind-of-peace-piano-reworks-vinyl","title":"Olafur Arnalds – Some Kind of Peace: Piano Reworks Vinyl LP","description":"\u003cp\u003eSome Kind of Peace: Piano Reworks is a classical and pop album by Olafur Arnalds on Mercury KX.
