Successful Screen Sounds

Evening Music | May 6, 2010
New York native, Angelo Badalamenti, is known for his compositions and film scores for movies such as Blue Velvet, which served as a springboard for many future projects, A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors; Mulholland Drive; Cabin Fever and The Wicker Man. He is, perhaps, most known for his themes for the television series Twin Peaks, which yielded a Grammy Award, three Emmy nominations and a soundtrack album that achieved gold status in 25 countries. Tonight, we hear his critically acclaimed Twin Peaks Theme. Also, music from Astor Piazzolla, Kevin Volans and Mary Lou Williams.
