Any filmmaker would be lucky to get an Oscar nomination. Three would be a legendary career. Three for the same film? Almost unbelievable. But Justin Hurwitz managed that with his unforgettable score for bittersweet musical romance La La Land. And it wasn’t just nominations: the score and his paean to Los Angeles, “City of Stars,” both won in their categories. Now you can hear all the music and relive the doomed love between jazz pianist Seb (Ryan Gosling) and aspiring actor Mia (Emma Stone) as Hurwitz conducts a full orchestra and jazz ensemble. – Richard Whittaker
