Cinema

Cinema’s greatest films are regularly elevated by their scores, the best of which have a place among music’s masterpieces. French violinist Renaud Capuçon’s stunning playing imbues 19 unforgettable movie themes with freshness and intense passion. John Williams’ theme from *Schindler’s List* has rarely sounded so profoundly moving, while Capuçon soars in a dazzling orchestration of Yann Tiersen’s “Suite” from *Amélie*. Aside from his breathtaking musicianship, Capuçon’s program is fascinating: It’s wonderful simply to hear the music of John Barry, Nino Rota, Georges Delerue, and Maurice Jarre on one album—and all of it played with such tenderness and sheer brilliance.
