Film Works: 1995-2005

Film Works is the accompaniment to last year’s sublime Piano Works and embodies many of Armstrong’s finest moments, including arrangements from Baz Lurhmann’s ‘Romeo and Juliet’, for which he won a Bafta and Ivor Novello Award, and ‘Moulin Rouge’, for which he won a Golden Globe, Ivor Novello and American Institute Award. He notched up a third Ivor Novello for his music for Philip Noyce’s ‘The Quiet American’. Also on the album are arrangements from his scores for ‘Ray’, ‘Love Actually’, ‘Plunkett and MacLeane’, ‘Cruel Intentions’ and ‘The Bone Collector’. The album closes with Craig’s arrangement of the classic ‘Clair de Lune’ for the recent high profile ‘Chanel No.5’ ad starring Nicole Kidman and directed by Craig’s long time cohort, Baz Luhrmann. Universal. 2006.
