Good morning / afternoon / evening. I'm not sure if this version of the score has appeared on the forums before, but I have for you today the score as written by Tennant and Lowe for "Battleship Potemkin".
As per Wikipedia, "Battleship Potemkin, sometimes, and more accurately, rendered as Battleship Potyomkin, is a 1925 silent film directed by Sergei Eisenstein and produced by Mosfilm. It presents a dramatized version of the mutiny that occurred in 1905 when the crew of the Russian battleship Potemkin rebelled against their officers of the Tsarist regime.
Battleship Potemkin has been called one of the most influential propaganda films of all time,[1] and was named the greatest film of all time at the Brussels World's Fair in 1958.[
To retain its relevance as a propaganda film for each new generation, Eisenstein hoped the score would be rewritten every 20 years. In an attempt to make the film relevant to the 21st century, Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe (of the Pet Shop Boys) composed a soundtrack in 2004 with the Dresden Symphonic Orchestra. Their soundtrack, released in 2005 as Battleship Potemkin, premiered in September 2004 at an open-air concert in Trafalgar Square, London. There were four further live performances of the work with the Dresdner Sinfoniker in Germany in September 2005 and one at the Swan Hunter ship yard in Newcastle upon Tyne in 2006."
Track list and link are as follows. Sorry, no covers, but if someone had any and would post, it would be appreciated. Also, for the curious, "Battleship Potemkin" with this version of the score is available on Youtube in its entirety, or so I'm told. Hope you enjoy it!
