Mary Queen Of Scots (2018)

"There is just something about this music that enraptured me from the first moment I heard it. Perhaps it is in the way Richter takes the classical renaissance composing style and re-frames it for contemporary audiences; perhaps it’s the beauty of the main theme, and the delicacy of the recurring cor anglais performance of it; perhaps it’s something in the drama inherent in the story of these two strong, powerful women being forced into conflict with each other in order to satisfy the egos of the men they ruled. I can’t quite put my finger on it. But whatever it is, I stand by my statement that this is Max Richter’s career high film music composition to date, which will surely appeal to anyone whose taste in scores includes richly rendered but staunchly minimalist orchestral writing, enlivened with a dash of period romance."
