| Profile: | Milan exists at the very intersection of film and music. Film directors and producers rely heavily on music to lend support to the emotion, sentimentality and depth of the scenes in their picture. Quality film music can create that emotion: empathy, rage, tension, fear, contentment. Milan is fortunate to have worked with some of the greatest composers of the 20th century. And as we transition to the 21st century, we reflect and re-examine the importance of music in films, and make the continued commitment of bringing the highest quality music to you in the new year, the new century and the new millennium. Relive the finest musical moments from your favorite movies, whether they be giant Hollywood blockbusters or independent foreign and domestic art-house films. Our catalog features song-based soundtracks as well as the best film scores by Academy Award winners Maurice Jarre, Hans Zimmer and Bernard Herrmann, plus a new generation of composers including Basil Poledouris, Carter Burwell, Mark Isham, Stewart Copeland and Angelo Badalamenti. Milan also boasts a unique roster of such acclaimed artists as Ryuichi Sakamoto, Claude Bolling, the Aqua Velvets and Astor Piazzolla, whose complete catalog we proudly represent. Our compilation albums offer generous samplings of film music, tangos and Latin music, including our popular Cuban series which features Irakere, Los Van Van, Chucho Valdes and many other classic performers of the island's diverse musical styles. |
