The Battleship Potemkin
Orchestre du Conservatoire de Paris conducted by Frank Strobel - Philharmonie de Paris
Program Info: Dmitri Shostakovich, Frank Strobel - The Battleship Potemkin Film by Sergei Eisenstein, Soviet Union, 1926
In 2009, conductor and film music specialist Frank Strobel composed an original score for Battleship Potemkin using excerpts from Shostakovich’s symphonies, shining new light on Eisenstein’s masterpiece.
Battleship Potemkin is consistently regarded as one of the greatest films of all time. Russian director Sergei Eisenstein made this film at the request of the Soviet regime to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the 1905 Revolution. What makes this film unforgettable are Eisenstein's experimental editing techniques and the remarkably tight, highly aesthetic cinematography.
