The Last Emperor is a lavish historical epic directed by the great Italian
filmmaker Bernardo Bertolucci and starring John Lone, Joan Chen, and
Peter O’Toole. The film tells the life story of Pu Yi, the last monarch of
the Chinese Qing dynasty prior to the republican revolution in 1911.
The score for The Last Emperor was created by an unlikely trio: Ryuichi
Sakamoto, David Byrne, and Cong Su. The soundtrack is a theme-filled
exploration of the sounds and musical traditions of Imperial China, filtered
through some very contemporary sensibilities. Sakamoto’s contribution
comprises nine cues and is focused around his main theme: a beautiful,
lyrical melody for the full orchestra. It’s soft, wistful, and introspective,
but becomes increasingly dramatic. Byrne contributes five cues, and
the first one is the most recognisable, as it’s the main title theme playing
over the film’s stylish opening credits sequence. It emerges from a set
of evocative Chinese percussion items, with the melody being carried
by a gorgeous, lilting erhu. It’s traditional and wholly steeped in Chinese
classical music, but it has a real emotional weight that will connect with
westerners. Cong Su’s contribution to the soundtrack album comprises
just one cue – “Lunch” – but there is much more of his music in the film;
Su was basically responsible for writing all the period-specific Chinese
source music one hears in and around the imperial palace during Pu
Yi’s childhood. All in all, Sakamoto, Byrne and Cong Su deliver an
excellent score.
The LP comes with an insert with liner notes and photos. |
