Legendary film Director Werner Herzog recently collaborated with composer Klaus Badelt and LMO for the soundtrack to his new movie Rescue Dawn. The movie which stars Christian Bale, tells the story of a US Fighter pilot’s struggle for survival after being shot down on a mission over Laos during the Vietnam War.

Klaus Badelt’s haunting and emotional soundtrack was scored for 42 strings, 2 harps, 2 percussion and piano and was recorded at Abbey Road studio 2 by Nick Woolich (engineer). Andy Brown was the Music Director and the sessions were monitored by Klaus Badelt in Los Angeles and Chris Brooks (music editor) from a hotel room in Ohio.
