Listen to Codebreaker by James McCarthy
Time to get excited for The Imitation Game dear readers. The film is celebrating its world premiere at Telluride Film Festival as we speak. In only a few hours we can expect the buzz to start, after the first people apart from preview audiences will have formed an opinion about Cumberbatch’s next big movie. While we wait, we can enjoy Codebreaker, a wonderful piece of music based on the life and tragic death of Alan Turing, the genius protagonist of The Imitation Game. This choral piece, composed by James McCarthy and performed beautifully by the Hertfordshire Chrous, celebrated its premiere this April at the Barbican (in the presence of Cumberbatch himself, who started a standing ovation, read a full report about the concert by our contributor Aki here). You can read more about the piece here and the composer wrote several blog posts about it. Codebreaker has very generously been put on Soundcloud for all of us to enjoy. Let’s start immersing ourselves in Alan Turing’s world.
