UK label Cold Spring will release a comprehensive five-CD boxset titled ‘Tarkovsky’ on September 4, 2026, compiling remastered original soundtracks from five landmark films by Soviet director Andrei Tarkovsky. The collection features scores by composers Vyacheslav Ovchinnikov for the early films ‘Ivan’s Childhood’ (1962) and ‘Andrei Roublev’ (1966), characterized by orchestral and choral arrangements, and Eduard Artemyev for the later trio ‘Solaris’ (1972), ‘Mirror’ (1975), and ‘Stalker’, which showcase pioneering electronic synthesis via the Soviet ANS synthesizer blended with traditional instruments. The deluxe boxset presentation includes individual card sleeves, art cards featuring original cinema posters, and sympathetically remastered audio intended to replicate the original theatrical experience. Cold Spring, known for archival soundtrack and dark ambient releases, consolidates these previously separate recordings into a definitive release documenting two pivotal Soviet composers’ contributions to cinema.
