Leningrad

The score to Leningrad was written by Yuri Poteyenko whose career we've been following since his acclaimed video game scores to his more recent movies written for Timur Bekmambetov. Just like the movie itself, the score represents a high points in its creators filmography, a complex and exciting collection of cues that cover everything from wartime heroics to civilian sacrifice and mindless destruction. The score is peppered with references to European classical music from "Adagio in G minor" to "Benedictus" and selected homages to the inescapable Dmitry Shostakovich. Conducted by Igor Dronov and performed by the Moscow Studio Symphony, our release of the scores contains all the important moments of the score, including cues that only appeared in the extended version re-edited for television.
