2012 soundtrack album by various artists
Les Misérables: Highlights from the Motion Picture Soundtrack film soundtrack for the 2012Universal Pictures filmLes Misérables Hugh Jackman ,Russell Crowe ,Anne Hathaway ,Amanda Seyfried ,Eddie Redmayne ,Samantha Barks ,Aaron Tveit ,Helena Bonham Carter ,Sacha Baron Cohen and other artists. It was released on December 21, 2012.[ 3] Claude-Michel Schönberg ; the lyrics byHerbert Kretzmer based on the French text byAlain Boublil and Jean-Marc Natel.
In an interview withBBC Radio 4 's Front Row,Tom Hooper the film's director, revealed that Claude-Michel Schönberg would be composing one new song and additional music.[ 4] Cameron Mackintosh revealed a newly created song, "Suddenly ", that "explains what happens when Valjean takes Cosette from the inn and looks after her."[ 5]
The film's vocals were recorded live on set using live piano accompaniments played through earpieces as a guide, with the orchestral accompaniment recorded in post-production, rather than actors lip-syncing to a pre-recorded musical soundtrack. Tom Hooper explained that this would eliminate the need to recapture "locked" performances and allow more creative freedom.[ 4] At Long Last Love The Fantasticks Across the Universe [ 6] Les Misérables began in London on 10 October 2012 with a 70-piece orchestra.[ 7]
TheHighlights album doesn't contain all musical numbers in the film, with traditional show highlights such as "Who am I?" and "A Little Fall of Rain" being omitted. The famous anthem "Do You Hear the People Sing? " does not appear on the album except for its reprise in the "Epilogue". Songs included on the album are often also incomplete in comparison with the movie itself (for example,At the End of the Day on the album is missingFantine 's explanation.)
A 2-Disc Deluxe Edition, released on March 19, 2013, comprised 42 tracks, including several of songs omitted on the highlights album as well as a few instrumental pieces. However, like the highlights album, many of the songs are still cut short due to time.
