Composer for ballet, tv, film and theatre

… Salem’s excellent bespoke score, performed by the Het Balletorkest under the direction of Matthew Rowe.

Peter Salem’s original score is excellent. He is able to capture mood, and the motif of a ticking clock works well to express tedium. His swirling, romantic ballroom music, his menacing Lheureux sections, and his rapturous duet are wonderful. As they say, like hand to glove, score to story.
