ORIGINAL SCORE BY OSVALDO GOLIJOV
YOUTH WITHOUT YOUTH

OSVALDO GOLIJOV COLLABORATES WITH FILM LEGEND FRANCIS FORD COPPOLA ON THE
ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK.
TO BE RELEASED ON DEUTSCHE GRAMMOPHON ON DECEMBER 11TH.

(November 14, 2007) Critically acclaimed composer, Osvaldo Golijov has joined
forces with one of the world's most talented directors, Francis Ford Coppola to
create a mesmerizing and captivating score to the film, Youth Without Youth
which is releasing on Deutsche Grammophon on December 11th.

The score was recorded in Bucharest by the Bucharest Metropolitan Orchestra,
young and enthusiastic musicians, conducted by Radu Popa. Francis Ford Coppola
and Osvaldo Golijov were present during the entire recording phase, and Deutsche
Grammophon has also included a 10-minute documentary on the soundtrack recording
that will be available on DVD and included in the press kit. It conveys,
directly and emotionally, the uniqueness and beauty of this project.


The film stars British actor Tim Roth, Romanian actress Alexandra Maria Lara,
and Swiss actor Bruno Ganz, and was written, produced and directed by Coppola,
marking his return to personal filmmaking. The screenplay is adapted from a
novella by the controversial Romanian fiction writer, philosopher and religious
historian Mircea Eliade. The soundtrack will serve as a powerful tool for
spreading Golijov's name beyond art-house and concert audiences.

Coppola decided to work with Osvaldo Golijov, who has been called, "the composer
of the moment" (Boston Globe) and remained closely involved in the process of
creating the soundtrack. Featuring a beautiful, nostalgic melody that permeates
the entire film, Golijov's score displays all the characteristics for which he
has been praised (".thoughtful and instinctive, esoteric and accessible,
unfailingly haunting and stimulating" - Gramophone) while also revealing a new
facet of his art.

The soundtrack is Golijov's fourth recording on Deutsche Grammophon. It follows
Oceana which the Chicago Tribune hails "irresistible" and which has remained on
the Classic Music charts for the past seventeen weeks. Golijov's opera,
Ainadamar was released in 2006 and the two-time Grammy award winning, Ayre, was
his DG debut.


Youth Without Youth releases in select theaters on December 14th will continue
to release nationwide in the weeks following.
