Rachel Portman
Rachel’s career demonstrates considerable breadth and depth, as well as longevity. We greet her as a familiar friend, yes, but a friend who is perfectly capable of surprising us.” praised Gary Yershon about Oscar winner Rachel Portman, who received this year’s SoundTrack_Cologne 18 Lifetime Achievement Award. Portman was visibly touched: “I would like to thank Michael Aust and the SoundTrack_Cologne team. It’s a really unique and very important festival.” Jean-Michel Bernard also played a medley of her film scores in Portman’s honour.
