Narvik: Hitler’s First Defeat is #1 on Netflix

Many congratulations Christine! The film Narvik: Hitler’s First Defeat, with a film score composed by Christine Hals, had its international release three days ago. The film is currently on ALL of Netflix’s “Top 10s Around The World” lists: #1 on Netflix in the US, Canada, Mexico, Netherlands, France, Spain, and Brazil, #2 in the UK, #5 in Germany and New Zealand, #8 in Australia, and #9 in India.

Christine Hal’s music is uniquely sensitive, and it’s always a pleasure to work with her.  I orchestrated the score for her in the latter part of 2021. The film’s release was delayed for a year in part out of respect for those affected by the Ukraine war which started in early 2022. Kampen Om Narvik was finally released in Norway in December 2022, and the international versions with dubs and/or subtitles were released globally three days ago. Christine put together a fantastic team which she describes here. We recorded with the wonderful Czech Studio Orchestra in Prague, and the choir and special soloists were recorded in London, and Dave Jewerén Moore was the music editor and mix engineer. The soundtrack is released by the label MTG Music in Norway.
