Product Description: On her Sony Classical debut album "Beyond the Screen", film composer Rachel Portman offers a personal and emotional insight into her groundbreaking career. For this, she has re-recorded some of her most popular film scores on piano, including her Oscar-winning soundtrack "Emma", "God's Work and the Devil's Contribution" and "Chocolat". Rachel Portman combines a total of 20 piano arrangements into an emotional musical journey. From the arrangement to the performance: In the production of "Beyond The Screen", Rachel Portman was artistically responsible for everything herself: "There had to be a very direct connection between me as the author and the interpreting. For me, everything originates at the piano anyway, because I write at the piano. I spend the whole day at the piano. I am probably a pianist in my soul. So it feels very satisfying to have played the pieces at the piano. In a way, it's come full circle." Rachel Portman has composed over 100 scores for film and television productions in just under 40 years and is known for her lyrical melodies and pure, transparent orchestrations. She has also composed music for operas (Le Petit Prince) and plays and an oratorio. In 1996 she became the first woman to win an Academy Award in the category Best Musical or Comedy Score for "Emma" and in 2015 the first woman to win a Primetime Emmy Award for "Outstanding Music Composition for a Mini Series, Movie or a Special" for "Bessie". She received further nominations for "Oliver Twist", "The Cider House Rules" and "Chocolat", among others.
