Ken Burns THE WAR Soundtrack Released on Legacy + Podcast!!


Burns has now released a podcast that will help illuminate his passion for this project.

THE WAR tells the story of the Second World War through the personal accounts of a handful of men and women from four quintessential American towns. The series explores the most intimate human dimensions of the greatest cataclysm in history, and demonstrates that in extraordinary times, there are no ordinary lives.

Music is an integral element in the success of the award-winning documentary films produced and directed by Ken Burns. Every musical track has been selected to underscore events and themes in the film. There is an eclectic mix of vintage era jazz (Count Basie, Duke Ellington, benny goodmanlinks, Nat 'King' Cole), popular singers (Kay Starr, Bing Crosby with guitarist Les Paul), classical works by composers Aaron Copland, Sir William Walton, and modernist Arvo Pärt, and evocative performances by Edgar Meyer (and friends) and Yo-Yo Ma & The Silk Road Ensemble.

THE WAR soundtrack album and the three companion albums are being sold individually. They are also packaged together in a special commemorative box set featuring a 24-page booklet essay by Ken Burns interspersed with 17 rare and moving images from the period, and a PBS Series Viewers Guide.
