Track Listing Legend:
* Previously Unreleased ** Contains Unreleased Material

In collaboration with Gruppo Sugar and Sony ATV, Music Box Records announces its latest collaboration with composer Gabriel Yared: Adieu Bonaparte (1985) and The First Circle (1992). The CD features an expanded version of a score previously released on LP/CD and a premiere release, never available anywhere before.

Adieu Bonaparte's score by Gabriel Yared has a rich symphonic sound augmented with a few exotic instruments (oud, qanun, ney) and in a key moment of the film, a male choir.

The First Circle's score may surprise those who are only familiar with Yared's more symphonic works as this score features innovative electronic textures, a small ensemble, percussion effects and a choir to lend an otherworldly feel to the imprisoned

The CD includes a new version of the Adieu Bonaparte program, rearranged for a more optimal listening experience. The First Circle has never been released and premieres here. The 8-page booklet features an essay by Gergely Hubai discussing both films and scores based on an original interview with the composer.
