Music Of Game Of Thrones [LP], City Of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra, Vinyl

Double vinyl LP pressing. In 2011, composer Ramin Djawadi was first asked to score a new TV series called Game of Thrones. In it's first season, much of the music was written for a small string ensemble, and filled out with synthetic pads and percussion. Over the course of the next six seasons the music budget got bigger and bigger to match the ever-increasing viewing figures the show was enjoying. This release celebrates the rich tapestry of music over the six series with the full firepower of an 80-piece symphony orchestra and choir. With so much music created for the sixty episodes so far broadcast, this album can of course only take in so much. The particular cues and themes it does highlight, though, lend themselves beautifully to this symphonic re-imagining.
