Desplat, Alexandre - The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button

The Piano solo arrangements for twelve selections from this Oscar and Bafta nominated film. Composed by the Oscar winning Alexandre Desplat, also known for his score for the film adaptation of Philip Pullman's The Golden Compass , the melodies that play through the film complements it perfectly. "All the people Benjamin meets he loses quickly, as they age and die while he gets younger. Because a continuous love relationship with anyone cannot work, his life is composed of heartbreaking flashes of connection. The music has to express the movement of going inexorably forward but still backwards, and the melancholia that is the essence of Benjamin's character."
