Empire Of The Sun (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

Empire of the Sun is the soundtrack, on Warner Bros. Records, of the 1987 film Empire of the Sun. The original score was composed and conducted by John Williams, performed by the Hollywood Studio Symphony and recorded during September and October 1987. The album is a 54-minute selection of music from the film, but the order of the track listing does not follow the film's chronology. The album won the BAFTA Award for Best Film Music. It was also nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Score, the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Score and the Grammy Award for Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media. A version of the track "Jim's New Life," performed by the Boston Pops Orchestra, was included on the 1995 album Williams on Williams: The Classic Spielberg Scores. A Boston Pops Orchestra version of "Cadillac of the Skies" is on disc one of the 1999 double album John Williams Greatest Hits 1969–1999. A limited edition, two-disc edition of the Empire of the Sun soundtrack, produced and remastered by Mike Matessino, was released by La-La Land Records in 2014. This edition of the soundtrack runs twice as long as the original album.
