Dust of Time: Music for the film by Theodoros Angelopoulos is a soundtrack album by Greek composer Eleni Karaindrou recorded in 2008 and released on the ECM New Series the following year. The music was featured in the film The Dust of Time by Theodoros Angelopoulos.[1]

Reception

The AllMusic review by Thom Jurek awarded the album 4 stars stating "While her many scores for his films have been celebrated for their subtlety and ingenious sense of time and nuance  - as well as instrumentation, texture, and color  - this one moves across musical cultures as well as across the span of years built into the script. As a piece of music, it walks the line between modern classical music with folk themes and more historical post-Romantic-era composition."[2]
