The Krakow Film Music Festival is now the biggest film music festival in the world and is about to celebrate its 9th edition, taking place May 24-30, 2016. Continuing their association with this remarkable event, Varèse Sarabande has again produced the official Krakow Film Music Festival CD 2016. Featuring over 75 minutes of music by the composers who will be part of this year's concerts, it is an eclectic sample of film music's incredible variety in 2016.
“One of the things I love most about Krakow FMF is the way it offers all of my brilliant friends the opportunity to shine in such individual ways and express talent and work that is utterly unique to themselves,” said Varèse Sarabande Producer Robert Townson.” “In Krakow we truly celebrate the art of film music and the artists who make it. For those who have not yet visited Krakow for the festival, I can tell you that this is a film music celebration like no other.”
