Mona Lisa / Castaway

Quartet Records pairs Michael Kamen’s orchestral work for Mona Lisa with Stanley Myers and Hans Zimmer’s Castaway score, bridging intimate chamber arrangements and expansive film composition. The compilation draws from a roster spanning Nat 'King' Cole’s vocal warmth, Brian Eno’s ambient textures, and Jon Hassell’s treated trumpet—a curated cross-section of melodic and textural sophistication. Both scores emphasize restraint and emotional clarity over bombast, making this a thoughtful study in underscore craft.
