About

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 vioinist Nemanja Radulović.

Spotlight on this release

Awards and reviews

  • Opus Klassik Awards
    2023
    Nominated - Conductor of the Year

December 2022

The pianist himself curated the programme, which is anything but run-of-the-mill, Tharaud celebrating the movie music which has moved him since childhood and notable score selections that place the piano front and centre. French film looms largest, and there are delightful discoveries to be made.
5 out of 5 stars

December 2022

it would be hard to imagine a more fitting end-of-year cause for popping the champagne than with this heady concoction saluting cinema in all its glory. Either in the car or at home, this is the antidote to our troubled but dear world.
