This is the soundtrack to Liz Garbus’ celebrated film about the life of troubled chess genius Bobby Fischer, ‘Bobby Fischer Against the World’.
I wrote the score around themes by Bach keyboard works. You can sample the full album here. Thanks for listening,

As he travels the globe with manager Paul Marshall (Michael Stuhlbarg) and coach Father Bill Lombardy (Peter Sarsgaard), Fischer crushes the world’s top players in the relentless pursuit of his ultimate quarry: indomitable Soviet chess grandmaster Boris Spassky (Liev Schreiber).
