Beyond the Screen: Film Works on Piano

With "Beyond the Screen", Rachel Portman has curated some of her most cherished film music for solo piano. She refers to the piano as her best friend, adding "I spend all day with it. I think probably I'm pianistic in muy soul." Hence, piano miniatures are a natural second life for her highly melodic scores. Portman was very selective, however, about which piece would translate best without an orchestra: "I wanted them to be pieces that work in their own way, that are satisfying."

The album comprises various new solo piano arrangements by the composer based on her well-known soundtracks.
