Rodrigo Leão Essentials

Even if Lisbon composer Rodrigo Leão hadn't named his 2004 album Cinema, the heart-stirring, wide-screened nature of his compositions makes that influence audible. As a solo artist and noted soundtrack composer, his touch is sure but light, as when his piano hits a plangent note amid the strings of “Louis Leaves” (from Lee Daniels' The Butler). Leão shadows Joan As Police Woman's plainspoken delivery on “The Long Run” with a weeping violin and deploys pizzicato plucks on “Vida Tão Estranha” so as to make a scene flicker to life in your ears.
