The Music of Harry Potter by Mystery Ensemble

The Music of Harry Potter by Mystery Ensemble

Immerse yourself in the world of magical music from the cult fantasy based on the novels of the same name by JK Rowling - the most enchanting event of autumn for the whole family, an experience not to be missed. The evening programme includes music from unforgettable fantasy films of Harry Potter performed by the extraordinary Mystery Ensemble.

The film's soundtracks were masterfully composed by John Williams. The composer wrote the music at his mansions in Los Angeles and Tanglewood and then recorded at Abbey Road and Air Lyndhurst studios in London in September 2001. The film features many characteristic leitmotifs, most of which were repeated in the second part of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. The main composition, Hedwig's Theme, is present in all films in a modified form. The soundtrack was released on October 30, 2001, on CD media.

On December 14, 2001, the soundtrack was certified gold in Canada (50,000 units) and in January 2002 in Japan (100,000 units). In 2002, John Williams was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Music for a Film but lost to Howard Shore, who wrote the compositions for another fantasy film, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.

The album became a success, peaking at number 48 on the Billboard 200 and number two on the Top Soundtracks Chart. In the official UK charts, the album was at number 19.
