Deutsche Grammaphon just released this previously unreleased (from 2008) Johannsson score on May 29. Digital to start, then a vinyl release on July 3. Hopefully a CD will follow.

It's a fine score, if not relevatory. Squarely in Johannsson romantic drama mode, which is to say that tonally there's a fairly narrow floor and ceiling with minimalistic phrasings. But few composers can work such wrought and sincere emotion from these tools. The textures are often gorgeous. If you're a Johannsson fan, you'll dig it. It also includes a live performance of what I assume is a concert arrangement of one of the cues.

Note there is a spoiler in the track listings!

It's good! I'm glad they included the concert track. He let the soundscape air out a little bit in that arrangement and it's beautiful.
