And the Oscar Goes To…
It’s time for another round of Academy Awards. Not planning on watching much. But… no matter which Hollywood Film Composer wins for Best Soundtrack, I’ll know the musicians who played the music you heard in the movie theater.
And so will you. That is, if you listen to the amazing players on my five CD Secret Power of Words and Music package.
Here’s the lowdown on just a few of them.
On most selections you’ll hear Joanne Pearce Martin, Principal Keyboardist for the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Then there’s Allan Vogel, world-renowned Grammy Award-winning Principal Oboist of the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra. And of course my husband, violinist Clayton Haslop. This past week he led the orchestra as concertmaster for Mission Impossible 3, coming to theaters near you soon. More about him in future blogs.
In fact, just as I’m writing this, Michael Giacchino, the composer for MI3, The Incredibles and Alias, bumps me off the phone with Clayton to congratulate him on his leadership for the last five days.
Bet you didn’t know that these top-notch musicians never see the music before they come to the studio to record it. They don’t even rehearse it. No time for that. A quick read and then the red recording light goes on.
When the music for "The Perfect Storm" was being recorded I was privileged to be in the booth. Couldn’t believe how quick they moved from cue to cue. After every take, the director, producers, composer James Horner and Clayton, who was concertmaster, would listen and watch the scene being scored. Then they’d make a call on whether to use or loose the take. ‘Twas really thrilling to watch.
These guys and gals are true worldclass professionals. Great thing is that you’ll get to hear some of them up close and personally when you order The Secret Power of Words and Music. I wouldn’t miss it.
Warm Regards,
Tania Gabrielle French
