When the Les Miserables soundtrack debuted with the film in December, fans were disappointed because it only offered “highlights” – not the entire score.
One month from today, that will change thanks to the release of Les Miserables‘ deluxe edition soundtrack!
According to the BBC, the Les Miserables extended soundtrack will include a whopping 42 tracks – 22 more than the original.
Sir Cameron Mackintosh, the producer of both the film and the stage versions of Les Mis, spoke to the BBC about the news: “Post-production on the Les Miserables film was extremely tight, with recording of the orchestra, final edit and sound mix having to be completed in only a few weeks. There was only enough time to remix a limited number of tracks so that at least a highlights album could be released for the fans before Christmas. We are delighted with the success of that album and very pleased that we can now add 22 more tracks.”
The BBC says the CD packaging will include “previously unseen photos from the film set as well as additional explanatory notes.”
