A special centenary edition of Sergei Eisenstein’s legendary BATTLESHIP POTEMKIN featuring the celebrated Tenant / Lowe score performed by Pet Shop Boys and Dresdner Sinfoniker. A fixture in the critical canon almost since its premiere, Eisenstein’s film about a 1905 naval mutiny was revolutionary in both form and content. BATTLESHIP POTEMKIN is renowned for its dynamic compositional strength and editing of such frame-perfect precision that it’s hard not to be swept along.
Revealed at a special screening in Trafalgar Square in 2004, Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe’s score, performed with the Dresdner Sinfoniker and orchestrated by Torsten Rasch, blends electronic beats with orchestral grandeur to create a contemporary cinematic experience.
