Tennant and Lowe of Pet Shop Boys celebrated score, remastered for the first time, released on CD and 2LP Black Vinyl, (Vinyl for the first time) by Parlophone Records to mark the centenary of Sergei Eisensteins legendary silent film Battleship Potemkin.
A fixture in the critical canon almost since its premiere, Eisensteins film about a 1905 naval mutiny was revolutionary in both form and content. Battleship Potemkin is renowned for its dynamic compositional strength and editing of such frame-perfect precision that its hard not to be swept along. The set-piece massacre on the Odessa Steps still packs a sledgehammer punch.
First revealed at a free outdoor live performance and screening in front of an estimated 25,000 people in Londons Trafalgar Square on 12 September 2004, Pet Shop Boys score, performed with the Dresdner Sinfoniker conducted by Jonathan Stockhammer with orchestrations by Torsten Rasch, blends electronic beats with orchestral grandeur to create a rousing contemporary cinematic experience. Since the premiere, Pet Shop Boys with Dresdner Sinfoniker have performed the music with the film in European cities including Frankfurt, Bonn, Berlin, Hamburg, Dresden, and Segovia, Spain. On May 1, 2006, Pet Shop Boys with the Northern Sinfonia, performed the music with the film at a special event at Swan Hunters shipyard, Wallsend. The first UK cinema screening with the recorded Tennant/Lowe score took place at BFI Southbank as part of the 2013 Meltdown Festival curated by Yoko Ono.
Pet Shop Boys have sold more than 50 million records, released 60 singles spanning five decades and are the most successful UK duo of all time. Prestigious awards have been numerous across their career including the BRIT Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music in 2009 and the Ivor Novello Award for Outstanding Contribution to British Music in 2000.
In April 2024 they released their fifteenth album, Nonetheless, on Parlophone Records their first with producer James Ford.
