| • Of Williams’ approximately seventy film scores, the soundtrack for Schindler’s List is considered one of his masterpieces. Compositionally, Williams departed from his usual swashbuckling style for a more classical sounding score. The effect is that of subtlety and nuance in a score rich with hauntingly beautiful melodies. Williams chose to feature the violin as the principal voice in large part because of its associations to Jewish music and since, “the violin itself remains an instrument of enormous expressive power.”
• To complement Williams’ Schindler’s List suite, Alexandre da Costa has chosen Ernst Bloch’s Suite Hébraîque. Rounding out the program, Swiss pianist Marc Pantillon joins the Bienne orchestra for Bloch’s Concerto grosso #1. |
