- ABOUT THE SCORE: Under Aurora (aka Pod Severnym Siyaniyem) is a 1990 Japanese/Russian co-production, set during the early 20th century. It deals with survival and vengeance against the beautiful, yet inhospitable, backdrop of the Siberian wilds - a film somewhat in the vein of Kurosawa by way of Jean-Jacques Annaud. Underrated composer Reijiro Koroku, best known in the west for his fantastic score to GODZILLA 1985, was afforded the opportunity to have his music recorded at the world-famous Bolshoi Theatre under the baton of Mark Ermler, and the composer seized the opportunity to pen his most dramatically-satisfying and sweeping score for the film. Indeed the title theme, introduced early on in this suite and tinged with a distinctly Russian air of tragedy, is a marvel to behold; both incredibly moving and as expansive as the land itself. Later in the score a revenge theme is conjured, and a secondary tender idea for a friendly sled dog as well. This is one of those little-heard gems of a score that very much deserves a wider audience, and the central melody is one that listeners are not likely to soon forget. Beautiful, evocative, emotionally direct scoring - no more, no less. Fans of Philippe Sarde's THE BEAR or others scores in that vein will find much to love.
As usual, I claim no ownership whatsoever.
I’ve been looking for more Reijiro Koroku scores everywhere, he’s an excellent composer
Thanks for sharing! His material really needs more fandom.
Reijiro's scores for the Kessen series of video games are quite good as well.
Playing this tonight!!
I love this score.
Encore une excellente partition qu'il est bon de découvrir. De plus, vos commentaires sont très bien écrits. Félicitations.
From the man behind the music for The Return Of Godzilla, Or Godzilla 1985.
Damn dude this guy is amazing. A lot of this sounds straight from Return of Godzilla so I recognize his style. Don’t understand why he didn’t get as big as the others unless it was his choice but my, this is James Horner material
It is indeed a gorgeous and highly accomplished, emotional work. Glad you enjoyed it!
Holy crap!!! What a beautiful score!
It is a gorgeous and haunting work. The main theme is, I believe, a perfect musical encapsulation of the Russkaya Dusha, the "Russian Soul", as Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky seemed to invoke it. I am glad you enjoyed it.
