Contents [SHM-CD] Todd Field's film "TAR," which premiered at the Venice International Film Festival on September 1st and received a six-minute standing ovation, is finally getting a Japanese release on May 12th. To coincide with this release, a concept album capturing the process of creating the film's core music is being released by Deutsche Grammophon. "TAR," which was nominated for six Academy Awards at the 95th Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actress, is written and directed by Todd Field and stars actress Cate Blanchett, telling the story of composer and conductor Lydia Tarr. This album features a wide range of tracks, from Elgar's Cello Concerto and Mahler's Symphony No. 5 to a new work by Icelandic composer Hildur Gu?nad?ttir. Combining actual recording sessions, rehearsal footage, the music heard by the characters in the film, and the finished version of the music Lydia is working on, this album complements the film by allowing listeners to experience, as director Field puts it, "the complexity of working on classical music production." The album also includes recordings of Cate Blanchett conducting a rehearsal of Mahler's Symphony No. 5 as Lydia Tarr, and a recording of her performing a Prelude from Bach's "The Well-Tempered Clavier."
