Pet Shop Boys - Battleship Potemkin
with the BBC Concert Orchestra

??
Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe are joined by the BBC Concert Orchestra for this live soundtrack performance to the Eisenstein film epic.

The new suite of Pet Shop Boys compositions created for the film are, in the words of the Daily Telegraph, 'an immaculate match for this extraordinary, groundbreaking piece of Bolshevik propaganda'. Eisenstein's 1925 film, about the failed 1905 Russian Revolution, is regarded as a milestone in film history and one of the most technically innovative movies of its time - as well as containing some of cinema's most famous scenes.
