[Thor Joachim Haga]

I love Søren Hyldgaard’s work, as well as Björn Isfält — two composers that were taken from us way too early.

And I’ve just now reached Hyldgaard in my collection walkthrough – listening to his gorgeous NOGET I LUFTEN (SOMETHING IN THE AIR) from 2011, which had its premiere release on Plantsounds last year. Only 20 minutes long, but it’s in that warm 90s melodrama style – think Cliff Eidelman’s A SIMPLE TWIST OF FATE or Michael Gore’s DEFENDING YOUR LIFE.

But if you need ONE Hyldgaard album, get the compilation EYE OF THE EAGLE – THE FILM MUSIC OF SØREN HYLDGAARD, which was reissued on Moviescore Media a few years ago (if memory serves, Kritzerland released it first?). Absolutely wonderful stuff.
