About
‘Film music can be sublime and has attracted some truly great composers;’ says Renaud Capuçon of his latest release, Cinema. ‘This album is something of a dream come true.’ The French star violinist’s homage to the silver screen features unforgettable themes – in stunning new arrangements – from Ennio Morricone (Cinema Paradiso, Mission), Nino Rota, John Williams (Schindler’s List), James Horner (Legends of the Fall), to more recent blockbusters (Twilight) and iconic French films (Amélie). Capuçon powerfully and sensitively evokes the magic of the cinema with the aid of the Brussels Philharmonic and conductor Stéphane Denève.

Saccharine moments are applied by Capuçon in soupcons rather than ladlefuls. The orchestra – deftly directed by Stéphane Denève – remains largely restrained throughout, providing a cloak around which Capuçon’s violin circles and soars…This is definitely a recording wherein the listener is invited to luxuriate in the warmth of the film’s soundtrack.
October 2018
The high-gloss new symphonic arrangements are garnished with lashings of old-school portamento, and it’s irresistible from start to finish: Korngold’s Robin Hood seduces, Piovani’s La vita è bella oozes charm, and the virtuoso flourishes of Vladimir Cosma’s Concierto de Berlin (as well as the Mahler Six-ish opening!) are great fun.
