the
dominant instrument
(the cello and wind instruments would also be important). In any
case, I didn't want anything bigger than a chamber orchestra, 10
to 15 musicians at most. I heard a simple but deep, powerful, melodic
music using all the resources of the instruments. The music was
composed over a twelve month period (which is exceptional in the
movie industry) and intimately linked to the adaptation itself.
Several pieces influenced the editing of entire sequences, sometimes
playing a narrative role.
First
we wanted to record the music simply for itself, independently of
the necessities of the film, each piece as a whole. The recordings
specific to the movie were produced afterwards. The compact disc
reflects this state of mind.
We
were able to unite a few of the best French soloists. All are leading
musicians, virtuosos of their instruments but also very creative,
imaginative and inspired in their playing. Cairn Gutlerner, who
directs them and plays the piano, has an extraordinary sense of
image and she has succeed in capturing the particular and inspiring
"little music" of the diary ".
