Caldera Records proudly presents Gary Yershon music for Mike Leigh’s films Hard Truths, Peterloo, and his stage plays Grief and Two Thousand Years.

It is rare for an album to feature music written for screen, stage, and concert hall. However, this album connects compositions written for director Mike Leigh, thus bridging different kinds of performance spaces and media. Hard Truths deals with Pansy as she struggles to cope with anxiety and depression. Peterloo honors the people around Manchester who in 1819 demanded representation and a vote. Grief sees a widow in 1950s London struggle with the increasingly hostile behavior of her teenage daughter. Two Thousand Years examines the consequences of a secular Jewish family’s grown-up son deciding to become orthodox, and his sister bringing home an Israeli boyfriend.
