Nonesuch releases composer Jonny Greenwood's soundtrack to Oscar-nominated writer/director Paul Thomas Anderson's new film <i>The Master</i>, which Anderson also co-produced. The film features Philip Seymour Hoffman, Joaquin Phoenix, Amy Adams, and Laura Dern. A striking portrait of drifters and seekers in post-World War II America, <i>The Master</i> unfolds the journey of a Naval veteran (Phoenix) who arrives home from war unsettled and uncertain of his future-until he is tantalized by The Cause and its charismatic leader (Seymour Hoffman). <br><br>The soundtrack comprises 11 compositions by Greenwood along with four recordings from the movie's era. Performers include the London Contemporary Orchestra, AUKSO Chamber Orchestra, and Ella Fitzgerald, among others. <br><br>This is the second Anderson film that Greenwood has scored. Their previous collaboration, the critically praised soundtrack for 2007's Academy Award-winning <i>There Will Be Blood</i>, also was released by Nonesuch. <br><br><br>Widely known as the guitarist for Radiohead, Jonny Greenwood also is a highly respected composer. In addition to <i>There Will Be Blood</i>, Nonesuch released his score for <i>Norwegian Wood</i> in 2011 and his collaboration with Polish composer Krzysztof Penderecki from 2012.
