music


I love Ravel's music in this movie. I think one piece is "piano trio in a minor"... Can someone tell me what other trio/sonata are in it?

Check out the link for the soundtrack at Amazon.com . It has the listings that appear at least on the CD.

Yes, the music is by Ravel: String Quartet in F

I. Allegro moderator: tres doux (8.43)

II. Assex vif: tres rythme (6:08)

III. Tes lent (8:51)

IV. Vif et agite (5.05)

I thought the music was gorgeous too and ran out and bought it. In the movie it was performed by the Britten Quartet.

The selections are listed on Amazon.com as the above comment says, but Ravel's "Trio Sonata in A Minor," his "Duo for Violin and Cello," and also his "Violin Sonata" are used in this movie, as well as a short 3 minute piece for violin and piano (whose title I forget). I am not sure that Ravel's String Quartet in F is in the film at all, actually! At least I do not recall it being there.
Soundtrack is worth searching out, as the recordings used for the film are amazing!

There is also another very fine recording of this repertoire by Frank Braley, Renaud Capuçon and Gautier Capuçon on Virgin Classics. Well worth a listen.
