The Best Music in Film
Bernard Rose
(Ivans xtc.)
- S&S: What is your favourite film soundtrack music and why do you like it so much?
- "Ken Russell's film of Tchaikovsky and The Music Lovers (1970)- to give it its full title. Great music, great movie - in that order."
- S&S: In what ways does music best enhance a film?
- "When it drives a sequence - I'd rather hear the music or not have it there at all unless it's purely "source"."
- S&S: Which film either has music that you wished you'd written or is one you would like to rescore and why?
- "The penthouse orgy in Ivans xtc (1999). Because it's so diverse: starting with Schubert then going through a club beat and ending up with a Chopin mazurka. I'm also proud of this sequence because I made the piano recording myself."
