World premiere of impressive Bruce Broughton soundtrack to Turner made for TV film, directed by Kevin Hooks, starring Delroy Lindo, dramatizing heroic contribution of Peary's African American valet Matthew Henson as co-discoverer of North Pole. Broughton creates large-scale work for orchestra with expressive, noble main theme to underline heroism plus imposing, angular ideas to convey ice-covered terrain, freezing temperatures. Entire score carries shades of Broughton's signature Americana vernacular as well. Intrada presents entire score from digital session masters, includes tiny bumpers, snippets in "the extras" section for completists. Powerful music! Bruce Broughton conducts. Intrada Signature Edition limited to 1200 copies!
