Hollywood Pictures has announced that it going to be releasing a special 12” 2-LP vinyl album for the Searchlight Pictures’ “Chevalier”, which features an original score by Kris Bowers.   The new vinyl album includes including two new tracks, “VIOLIN CONCERTO IN C MAJOR, OP. 5, NO. 1: I. ALLEGRO” and  “VIOLIN CONCERTO IN A MAJOR, OP. 5, NO. 2: II. LARGO” available exclusively on the vinyl. Included on the album are on-camera performance tracks produced and arranged by Michael Abels, and songs composed by Joseph Bologne, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and Alessandro Scarlatti.

Inspired by the incredible story of composer Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges. The illegitimate son of an African slave and a French plantation owner, Bologne (Kelvin Harrison Jr. in a tour de force performance) rises to improbable heights in French society as a celebrated violinist-composer and fencer, complete with an ill-fated love affair and a falling out with Marie Antoinette (Lucy Boynton) and her court.

Kris Bowers said in a statement:

“The story isn’t being told because it’s a black person that existed in this time period. This is one of the greatest composers who was overlooked because he was black. With Bologne’s incredible talent and charisma, some liken him to an 18^th century rock star, with Michael Abels calling him “the Prince of his day.”
