Notes from Label:
Lasse Hallstrom's An Unfinished Life, had been completed in 2003, but not released until 2005. Christopher Young, who had provided the fine, Golden Globe-nominated score for the director's previous film, The Shipping News, ultimately found nearly all his cues replaced by another composer's. As if that indignity wasn't enough, the film's confusing credits lead some critics to skewer Young by name in print -- for music he didn't even write.
The splendid, intimate music on this album sets the record straight. Young's music is a heartbreaking and poignant work. Truly one of the composer's most intimate musical poems, the unused orchestral score for the film features some haunting guitar work and a wealth of impressionistic themes for solo piano. As a further exploration of the thematic ideas Young developed for this film, and adding a deeper and even more personal dimension to the album, the over fifty minutes of orchestral score on this release are followed by a separate work titled 14 Unfinished Lives - For Solo Piano in which Young further explores thematic ideas, both used and unused, in his score for the film. Long one of the most respected names in film music, Christopher Young is a true artist. Featuring nearly 80 minutes of music, this very special release presents one of his latest and finest opuses.
