The Red Violin is the original soundtrack album, on the Sony Classical label, of the 1999 film The Red Violin (original title: Le violon rouge), starring Carlo Cecchi, Sandra Oh and Samuel L. Jackson. The original score and songs were composed by John Corigliano[1] and performed by Philharmonia Orchestra with Esa-Pekka Salonen conducting.
The album won the Academy Award for Best Original Score[2] and was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Composition Written for a Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media, but lost to the score of A Bug's Life.
Composition
[edit]Film director François Girard stated violinist Joshua Bell and Corigliano were involved from the outset and reviewed every version of the screenplay as it was in development.[3]
Much of the score had to be written before principal photography, which is rare in film.[1] After shooting completed, Corigliano finished "Anna's Theme".[4]
