New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ CineMedia Promotions) The intelligent, funny and thrilling soundtrack to the fast-paced contemporary hit remake of the Arthur Conan Doyle classic
Composed by
David Arnold (Die Another Day, Casino Royale, Hot Fuzz, Paul,
Little Britain) and Michael Price (The Inbetweeners Movie, Hot Fuzz, Paul) the soundtrack encompasses a small orchestra, samples and soloists. This highly acclaimed score has received BAFTA and Emmy nominations and won an RTS Television Award. The follow-up soundtrack to the second series of Sherlock, currently aired on the BBC, is scheduled to be released in May 2012 to coincide with the airing of the second season in the United States.
"If
David Arnold and Michael Price did not exist, it would be necessary for man to invent them. Their contribution to Sherlock is immeasurable. Thrilling, cheeky, sinister, playful and simply world-class…the music's not bad either."
- Mark Gatiss (Sherlock and League of Gentlemen creator)
