Original soundtrack to Wes Anderson's 2025 film 'The Phoenician Scheme', starring Benicio del Toro, Mia Threapleton, Michael Cera, Riz Ahmed, Tom Hanks, Bryan Cranston, Mathieu Amalric, Richard Ayoade, Jeffrey Wright, Scarlett Johansson, Benedict Cumberbatch, Rupert Friend and Hope Davis. The soundtrack blends Alexandre Desplat's original score with a mix of classical and jazz recordings. Classical highlights include Stravinsky, Bach, and Beethoven, with a handful of Desplat's compositions for the film referencing Stravinsky's 1910 ballet 'L'Oiseau de feu' ('The Firebird'). Jazz highlights include Gene Krupa's 'Drum Boogie', Glenn Miller's big band standard 'A String of Pearls' and 'Mud Bug' by the Fuasi Abdul-Khaliq Sextet, recorded specifically for the film.
