Every year Film Fest Ghent and Brussels Philharmonic dive into the studio to create an exclusive WSA Album. This yearly compilation album honours world-renowned film composers whose music deserves the spotlight. This year, we’ve released three exclusively expanded reissues of previously released albums dedicated to the work of Mychael Danna, Shigeru Umebayashi and Gabriel Yared. The music is performed by Brussels Philharmonic and Vlaams Radiokoor, conducted by Dirk Brossé, and recorded by Motormusic at Flagey's legendary Studio 4 in Brussels.

He has become especially renowned for his collaborations with Atom Egoyan, Ang Lee and Mira Nair. This album includes highlights from his scores for Monsoon Wedding, Where the Truth Lies, Capote and Little Miss Sunshine among other films. Recorded especially for this new release are suites from Hearts in Atlantis, Moneyball and his Oscar-winning score for Life of Pi.
