Liberator (Libertador) - The Liberator (Libertador) Soundtrack - Music & Performance - CD

Original score to the 2014 motion picture composed by Gustavo Dudamel. The film is told from the viewpoint of Simon Bolivar, the legendary Venezuelan military and political leader who helped secure independence from the Spanish empire. The Liberator (Libertador) is billed as the largest independent film production ever to come out of South America. Dudamel, who consulted with film score master John Williams in the preparations for this assignment, describes his soundtrack as 'atmospheric, post-Mahlerian music, full of tension, hope and struggle.' the Simon Bolivar Symphony Orchestra and guests from the world of Venezuelan folk music lend the score a distinctive and irresistible Latin American flavor.
