The soundtrack for Maestro is set for release in November, featuring music from West Side Story, Candide, On the Town, and more.

Candide will be represented on the soundtrack by its overture, "Paris Waltz," and "Make Our Garden Grow."

From On the Town, the film will feature "I Get Carried Away / You've Got That Look (That Leaves Me Weak" and "Lonely Town. Pas de deux."

The prologue from West Side Story is also included.

All the music in the film was chosen by Cooper, and the new recordings on the soundtrack were made by the London Symphony Orchestra and Yannick Nézet-Séguin, who also worked closely with the actor-director as conducting consultant before and throughout the film-making process.

The album also presents excerpts from works as varied as Mass, Chichester Psalms and Symphonies Nos. 2 and 3, among others. It also includes music by Beethoven, Mahler, Schumann and Walton, used to illustrate key moments in Bernstein’s career and marriage.

The album will be released digitally on November 17, 2023, and on CD and vinyl on December
