Milan to Release THE WITCHER Soundtrack from Sonya Belousova & Giona Ostinelli on Friday

Milan Records announces the January 24 release of THE WITCHER, Music From The Netflix Original Series by composer and award-winning pianist Sonya Belousova and critically-acclaimed composer Giona Ostinelli. Available for preorder now, the album features music written by the duo for Netflix’s latest fantasy drama series.  Included on the soundtrack is the now-viral hit “Toss A Coin To Your Witcher,” a medieval ballad that his heard in the show.

Based on the best-selling novel by Andrzej Sapkowski, THE WITCHER made its Season One debut in December and is available to stream in its entirety on Netflix now. THE WITCHER tells the story of Geralt of Rivia, a mutated monster-hunter for hire, as he journeys toward his destiny in a turbulent world where people often prove more wicked than beasts.

Of the soundtrack, composers Belousova and Ostinelli said: “The best part of scoring THE WITCHER is the constant stream of unlimited creative opportunities this unique and vast universe provides. We wrote and produced songs, folk tunes, dances, and score, collaborated with virtuoso soloists and phenomenal artists, recorded unique historical instruments, many of which were crafted specifically for The Witcher, as well as personally performed and recorded over 60 instruments in order to create over 8 hours of an exciting original soundtrack.”
