Many films featured on this album, such as The Diary of Anne Frank, Defiance, The Passerby, Schindler's List, and Life is Beautiful, address the sensitive and painful subjects of the Shoah and World War II.
Interpretation
The arrangements for violin and piano on this album aim to make the melodies more restrained and intimate, redefining the soundscape of the original scores.
Composer's Artistic Vision
The power of film music often arises from the collaboration between a director and a composer, who act as alter egos, creating a mysterious alchemy that results in a masterpiece.
Recording & Production
The album was recorded in March 2017 at the Maison de l'Orchestre National d'Île-de-France.
Album & Artwork
The album is an anthology of film music, some deeply rooted in collective memory, and some less known or forgotten.
Interpretation
On this recording, the violin takes on the role of the human voice, using its evocative power to capture attention, as the violin, melody, and emotion are intimately associated in Western and Jewish traditions.
