La Putain du Roi - La Diagonale du Fou - L'Instinct de L'Ange

MUSIC BOX RECORDS together on the same three CD soundtracks composed by Gabriel Yared: The King's Whore (1990) directed by Axel Corti, The Diagonal crazy (1984) and L'Instinct de Angel (1993), two movies directed by Richard Dembo.

Among the games that counted in the career of Gabriel Yared appears at the forefront with the Richard Dembo, initiated during the Diagonal crazy, with Michel Piccoli and Alexandre Arbatt. A real bond was in fact established between the two creators who immediately agreed on the fact that the design partition on the basis of a pre-existing, ad gloriam Dei majorem music as Bach said. Yared is moving towards the Prelude for organ, op. 18 César Franck it will expand a long introduction and adapt as a Sinfonia Concertante for viola soloist, cellos and basses. The result is an austere composition which suits perfectly the tense atmosphere of the film, itself a fiction transposed in Geneva in 1983 duels Karpov / Korchnoi remained in history.

For its only other collaboration with Dembo, The Instinct of the angel, rare film with Lambert Wilson, Jean-Louis Trintignant and François Cluzet, with the middle part of the airmen of the First World War, Yared composed a poignant aria with manner of Johann Sebastian Bach and several versions.

The costume drama Axel Corti The King's Whore, with Timothy Dalton, Valeria Golino and Stephane Freiss, is an ideal complement to program this album since Yared was taken to illustrate this story of adultery by parts Bach, Mozart and Schubert, completely reworked for the occasion.

The three new soundtracks collected on this album all have a close relationship with classical music and show thanks to the talent of Gabriel Yared the art of variation can serve the cinema.
