Music Composed and Conducted by ALEXANDRE DESPLAT Featuring World-Renowned Piano Virtuoso LANG LANG "Prodigiously gifted" (Gramophone) pianist Lang Lang is featured in Golden Globe nominee (Girl With A Pearl Earring) Alexandre Desplat's evocative score for the new film version of W. Somerset Maugham's celebrated novel, 'The Painted Veil.'

A turbulent romantic drama set in the 1920s, 'THE PAINTED VEIL,' directed by John Curran and Caroline Link, follows a young English couple, a conservative doctor (Edward Norton) and a restless society girl (Naomi Watts), who marry hastily, relocate to Shanghai where they betray each other, and find an unexpected chance at redemption and happiness while on a deadly journey into the heart of ancient China.

Composer Alexandre Desplat received his first Golden Globe nomination in 2004 for his score for the film Girl With A Pearl Earring and his recent English-language credits also include Birth, Syriana, Hostage and The Upside of Anger. Earlier this year, he won the Berlin Film Festival's Silver Bear prize for his music for the French film The Beat That My Heart Skipped and he is a two-time nominee for the Cesar Award, France's equivalent of the Oscar. Desplat's score for Girl With A Pearl Earring also won him BAFTA and European Film Academy nominations.

Lang Lang's solo album, DRAGON SONGS (CD+DVD) will also be released on January 9; the DRAGON SONGS full length DVD will be released on February 13.
