Music of Penderecki and Ligeti Featured in Martin Scorsese's Shutter Island

Feb. 04, 2010

Martin Scorsese's new film Shutter Island (Paramount Pictures) premieres on February 19 and features the music of Schott composers Krzysztof Penderecki and György Ligeti. Based on the novel by Dennis Lehane, the film features music from Penderecki's Symphony No. 3 and Fluorescences as well as Ligeti's Lontano and Two Etudes for Organ. Each of the monolithic scores plays a vital role in the ominous, sinister world that Scorsese creates in this film.
