Immerse yourself in the captivating world of fashion icon Lee Alexander McQueen with this evocative soundtrack composed by the renowned Michael Nyman. Released on June 8, 2018, this album accompanies the documentary film that chronicles McQueen's meteoric rise from humble beginnings to the pinnacle of the fashion industry. Nyman, McQueen's favorite composer, masterfully weaves a tapestry of minimalist and classical compositions that reflect the drama and intrigue of McQueen's life and work.
Spanning over two hours, this album is a rich tapestry of 28 tracks that blend lush orchestrations with Nyman's signature minimalist style. From the hauntingly beautiful "McQueen: Time Lapse" to the dramatic "The Highland Rape: Abel Carries Ephraim," each piece is a testament to Nyman's ability to evoke deep emotions and vivid imagery. The album features a mix of solo piano pieces, such as "Paris Chic: Revisiting the Don" and "Lee's Sarabande: Dealing for the Sarabande," as well as more expansive orchestral works like "The Final Collection: Lost and Found" and "Plato's Atlantis: The Piano Concerto, The Beach."
This album is not just a collection of songs; it's a journey through the life and legacy of one of fashion's most iconic figures.
