Film Music Festival Kraków - The Music of Gabriel Yared
Sinfonietta Cracovia, Kraków Philharmonic Choir & Gabriel Yared conducted by Dirk Brossé - Karol Szymanowski Philharmonic Hall
Program Info: Sinfonietta Cracovia Kraków Philharmonic Choir Dirk Brossé, conductor Gabriel Yared, piano
The English Patient, The Talented Mr. Ripley, Cold Mountain – all these films leave an unforgettable impression. Their extraordinary soundscapes have been created by one composer, rightly regarded as a legend of French film music. We are proud that Oscar-winning filmmaker Gabriel Yared has accepted our invitation and will come to Kraków!
FMF fans have been waiting for this concert for many years. At last, one of the most important contemporary film composers – Gabriel Yared – will visit us.
His greatest international success is the soundtrack to The English Patient (1996), a melodrama starring Juliette Binoche, Ralph Fiennes, Willem Dafoe and Kristin Scott Thomas. The compositions for this film have won Golden Globe, BAFTA and Grammy awards, as well as an Oscar. It is worth mentioning, however, that the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences honoured Yared with nominations on two more occasions – for the soundtracks to The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999) and Cold Mountain (2003).
Gabriel Yared is certainly one of the most versatile film composers of our time. It is not difficult to understand why so many creators of ambitious Hollywood productions wanted to work with him. Whether he draws on classical music, jazz or world music, Yared sets an original tone for each track, which is perfectly suited to the film’s story.
The programme for the concert at the Kraków Philharmonic will include Yared’s most important works from films such as The English Patient, Betty Blue, Camille Claudel, City of Angels, The Talented Mr. Ripley and Cold Mountain. The composer himself will grace the evening with a solo piano performance. We have no doubt that this concert will remain in the audience’s memory for a long time.
