Stephen Fry has released his first album on Decca Records, The Mythos Suite, featuring music by award-winning composer Debbie Wiseman OBE
Debbie Wiseman’s music was inspired by Stephen Fry’s Sunday Times bestseller Mythos – a collection of vivid works retelling Ancient Greek myths and legends, updated for the modern age. Developed in close collaboration with the actor, author and comedian, Debbie Wiseman created a five-track suite showcasing musical tales from the dawn of time, with themes representing Persephone, Marsyas, Rhea and Sisyphus.
Debbie Wiseman and Stephen Fry are long-time collaborators. They first worked together in 1997 on the film Wilde, for which Stephen received a Golden Globe nomination for his performance as the eponymous poet and playwright.
Stephen Fry narrates each of the five musical vignettes on The Mythos Suite which were performed and recorded by 80 musicians from the National Symphony Orchestra at Abbey Road Studios. The release also includes five instrumental-only bonus tracks.
“I have known and loved Debbie Wiseman’s music for most of my life – to collaborate with her again has been nothing short of rapture. Her music perfectly captures Greek mythology’s juicy and joyous mixture of the elemental and the specific, the noble and the wicked, the ethereal and the earthy.”
