Deutsche Grammophon to Release Concept Album for ‘TÁR’

By Francisco Salazar

Deutsche Grammophon has announced the concept album for the upcoming film “TÁR.”

The new soundtrack will include music by Oscar-winning composer Hildur Guðnadóttir’s. The album is a concept album and features music from and inspired by the movie, including a series of new tracks by Guðnadóttir, as well as extracts from major works by Elgar and Mahler.

The concept album complements the film by presenting completed, real-life versions of the music on which we see the fictional protagonist working. The aim of the album is to reveal something of the rehearsal and recording process of orchestral music-making.

The film, which premiered at the Venice Film Festival to universal praise, was written and directed by Todd Field, and stars Oscar winner Cate Blanchett, who is featured on the DG album conducting rehearsals of a Mahler symphony with extraordinary skill.

“TÁR” is set to be released on Oct. 7, 2022 while the album will be released on digital and CD on Oct. 21, 2022.
