Music reviews of Ladies in Lavender [Original Motion Picture Soundtrack]
Music Review: Finding Love on the Coast of Cornwall
Rating: 5 Stars
Rarely do movie soundtrack recordings bring a great deal of satisfaction other than restoring memories of a particular favorite film. The LADIES IN LAVENDER Soundtrack is an exception in that it not only benefits from the splendid playing of violinist Joshua Bell, but it also happens to have some very fine music composed for the film by Nigel Hess. For those who have enjoyed the film, the closing credits are accompanied by Hess' title song 'Ladies in Lavender', a soaring melody for violin and orchestra that captures all the tenderness and beauty of the story.
The soundtrack includes some classical works such as Meditation From Thais, Variations on Carnivale in Venice, Introduction And Tarantella, and even Hess' own Fantasy for Violin and Orchestra which provides the moving conclusion concert of the story. Hess wisely weaves Cornish music and folk songs such as The Girl with the Flaxen Hair that so ably set the atmosphere and mood for the film. On screen the handsome young Daniel Bruhl played Andrea, the Polish violinist who is the focal point of affection of the ladies (the incomparable Judi Dench and Maggie Smith), and studied bowing techniques well: his 'performing appearance' is excellent. Yet the true musical star of both the film and this recording is the gifted and handsome young Joshua Bell. The score and performances are a delight. Grady Harp, December 05
Description of Ladies in Lavender [Original Motion Picture Soundtrack]
The screenwriting/directing debut of veteran British stage and screen actor Charles Dance tells of a pair of Cornish spinsters (Judi Dench and Maggie Smith) who discover a charismatic young Polish violin virtuoso castaway (Daniel Bruhl) on the beach below their home. The tale leads inexorably to tender romantic conflicts and a warm concert house finale. Composer Nigel Hess masterfully utilizes his background as Music Director and House Composer for the Royal Shakespeare Company to conjure a score that evokes its quiet, emotional dignity via neo-classical orchestral arrangements that feature real life young virtuoso Joshua Bell on solo violin. Hess' intimate original compositions form a virtually seamless tapestry with the story's requisite classical repertory choices, which range from Massenet and Debussy to Bell's delightful variations on Paganini's "The Carnival of Venice."
