ASTÉRIX : LE SECRET DE LA POTION MAGIQUE

48 minutes of music.
12-page CD booklet including director Philippe Rombi's statement and pictures of recording sessions.

In collaboration with M6 Film and Cristal Groupe, Music Box Records is pleased to present on CD the original motion picture soundtrack of the French-Belgian animated feature film Asterix: The Secret of the Magic Potion (2019) composed, orchestrated and conducted by acclaimed composer Philippe Rombi (Merry Christmas, In the House, The Outsider).

After Asterix: The Mansions of the Gods in 2014, French composer Philippe Rombi reunites for the second time with the dynamic duo screenwriter Alexandre Astier and director Louis Clichy, on Asterix: The Secret of the Magic Potion, based on the comic book of René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo.

A fall during the picking of mistletoe led Druid Panoramix to make a decision: he will travel through Gaul with Asterix, Obelix and Pectin in search of a young talented druid to guarantee the future of the village and to transmit the secret of the magic potion.

Philippe Rombi provides an exhilarating and thematic orchestral score, offering a wide array of outdoor adventure and wondrous themes. The lively score is performed by the London Symphony Orchestra and conducted by the composer himself. The package includes a 12-page full-color booklet with Philippe Rombi’s statement and many pictures of recording sessions.
