Info for Musiques de cinéma

Magical music, magical cinema: the music of great composers is an indispensable part of countless well-known films. It is not only romantic scores, such as Gustav Mahler’s 5th Symphony, which became the unmistakable soundtrack to Luchino Visconti’s *Death in Venice*, but also the music of Baroque masters that has left its mark on the silver screen. The French Insula Orchestra, under the baton of its conductor Laurence Equilbey, follows in their footsteps on its latest Erato album, *Musiques de Cinéma*. Together with outstanding soloists, this historically informed ensemble highlights the iconic presence of well-known works from Vivaldi to Mozart in cinematic masterpieces: a sensual encounter of a very special kind. Purely instrumental tracks such as the famous Sarabande from Handel’s D minor Suite – known to film buffs as the main theme from Stanley Kubrick’s epic Barry Lyndon – or Pachelbel’s Canon, which achieved film music fame in the 1980 Robert Redford film Ordinary People, are presented with great virtuosity by stars such as the two countertenors Carlo Vistoli and Paul-Antoine Bénos-Djian, the clarinettist Pierre Génisson and the harpsichordist Justin Taylor. Musiques de Cinéma offers a special treat with a guest appearance by the acclaimed pianist David Fray, who contributes two of the most beguiling middle movements from Mozart’s entire piano concerto oeuvre to the programme: the Adagio from the Piano Concerto in A major, K. 488, and the Andante from the Piano Concerto in C major, K. 467, which, thanks to John Lasseter’s classic animated film Toy Story (1995), is familiar to a wide audience even beyond the concert hall.

With accentus, Laurence Equilbey continues to interpret the great vocal music repertoire. Laurence Equilbey supports contemporary creation and she’s also Artistic Director and Director of Education at the Department for Young Singers at the Paris Conservatory.

The extensive recorded work of accentus has received wide critical acclaim.

Laurence Equilbey has studied music in Paris, Vienna and London, and conducting, notably with Eric Ericson, Denise Ham, Colin Metters and Jorma Panula.

Insula Orchestra
Insula orchestra’s artistic project is built around a repertoire ranging mainly from the Classical to the Romantic eras. Mozart, Schubert or Weber form naturally the core of this repertoire with symphonic programmes as well as programmes with choir and soloists. The orchestra performs on period instruments.

Founded in 2012 by Laurence Equilbey with local government support from the Département des Hauts-de-Seine, Insula orchestra is in residence in a new artistic venue, La Seine Musicale, designed by architects Shigeru Ban and Jean de Gastines on Ile Seguin, an island in the River Seine just a few miles downstream from Paris. The orchestra is in charge of selecting part of the programme for the 1,100-seater auditorium. It also performs at other major French and international venues and leading festivals. Since its foundation, the orchestra has been invited to play at Philharmonie de Paris, Vienna’s Theater an der Wien, Salzburg Mozart Week, Basel

Stadtcasino, Elbphilharmonie, Ludwigsburg Festival and London Barbican Centre. Insula orchestra has also developed a comprehensive, innovative programme of cultural and educational initiatives across its home base in the Hauts-de-Seine department, notably to foster awareness among potential audiences who have never had the opportunity to approach classical music, as well as participatory classes for young people and schools.
