If you needed evidence proving Jóhann Jóhannsson as the finest soundtrack composer of his generation, look no further than The Theory Of Everything. Having honed as craft working in the more experimental / modern sphere of composition, here the Icelandic composer takes common string, harp and piano ensembles and produces some of the most graceful and stirring sonic moods committed to film this side of Bernard Herrmann, mirroring the brilliance of the film’s subject, the late Stephen Hawking. Jóhannsson’s score was nominated for an Academy Award and won a Golden Globe award for Best Original Score. High-quality audiophile pressing on heavyweight blue colored vinyl, recommended.
