Rachmaninoff Goes to the Movies
Release Date: March 18, 1997 SFK63032 CD Album The critically acclaimed film Shine reawakened interest in the music of Rachmaninoff. In the movie, the Rachmaninoff Third Piano Concerto becomes a powerful and rich symbol for the suffering and triumph of a tormented young pianist. In fact, Rachmaninoff's piano music has been a haunting and beautiful element of classic films for the last fifty years. Hence, here is Rachmaninoff Goes to the Movies (retitled Rachmaninoff Goes to the Cinema for European release), a collection of the sublime romantic melodies that have been featured in such hit films as Brief Encounter (1946), The Seven Year Itch (1955), Somewhere in Time (1980), Groundhog Day (1994), and Shine (1996). This album celebration contains two virtuoso concertos -- the Second and Third -- and the famous "18th Variation from the Paganini Rhapsody" featured in legendary performances by great pianists Andre Watts and Gary Graffman accompanied by the conductors Seiji Ozawa and Leonard Bernstein and the storied New York Philharmonic. |
