A Dangerous Method - Howard Shore meets Richard Wagner



A Dangerous Method is directed by David Cronenberg with music composed by award-winning composer Howard Shore. In addition to Shores original music the soundtrack contains his adaption of several Richard Wagner motifs, as well as a full adaption of Siegfried Idyll (the complete version played by Lang Lang is available on the soundtrack CD).
