About this album

Maurice Jarre’s A Passage To India is a richly lyrical film score that balances Indian musical colour with the sweep of a classic orchestral soundtrack. Written for David Lean’s 1984 adaptation of E. M. Forster’s novel, the music supports the film’s tensions between landscape, spirituality and imperial unease without becoming merely illustrative. Jarre, a three-time Academy Award winner, was especially adept at turning location and atmosphere into melody, and here he shapes themes such as the title music and The Marabar Caves into an evocative dramatic arc. It stands as one of the composer’s notable late-career soundtrack works.
