$18.98
Alexandre Tharaud's relationship with film music runs deep - it also ranges wide. On his double album cinema/ the French pianist delves into 50 celebrated film scores by composers from France/ Italy/ the USA/ Japan/ Poland/ Romania and Lebanon - 19 in all. Among them are Michel Legrand/ John Williams/ Ennio Morricone/ Francis Lai/ Marvin Hamlisch/ Nino Rota and Philip Glass. As Tharaud says: "This album pays tribute to them with a selection of pieces for piano and orchestra and for piano solo/ most in their original versions/ creating a sound-world every bit as thrilling without the motion picture." The movie magic is reinforced by Tharaud's starry partners on the album: Antonio Pappano conducts the Orchestra dell'Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia/ and making guest appearances are singers Vanessa Paradis/ Camélia Jordana and Sabine Devieilhe/ clarinettist Michel Portal and violinist Nemanja Radulovic.
