SOUNDTRACKS NEWS

The Others: Writer, Director, and Composer Alejandro Amenábar's first English-language film The Others was picked by Entertainment Weekly as one of the 10 Summer Movies Worth Seeing in this week's issue.
A thrilling and suspenseful ghost story with a truly unexpected and inspired twist, The Others is set in the English Channel Islands just after the war, stars Nicole Kidman and is executive-produced by Tom Cruise. Amenábar not only wrote the script and directed the film - "The fun stuff is the style, which relies on shadow and silence," writes ET - he also scored the film.

Hit the website, check out the trailer, and sample Amenábar's moody score as performed by The London Session Orchestra under the direction of Claudio Ianni.

CLASSICAL NEWS

Rediscovering Vivaldi: Giuliano Carmignola and the Venice Baroque Orchestra Coming to America
"There are dozens of Four Seasons recordings in the catalog... this is the most impressive Four Seasons performance ever heard on a recording... you haven't heard the heart and soul of this music until you hear this." - that's what ClassicsToday.com noted in their January 2001 review of the Carmignola/VBO album of Vivaldi's Four Seasons.

Now, in time for the release of their latest recording, this time of late, unpublished Vivaldi concertos - in stores this week - Carmignola and the Venice Baroque Orchestra are coming to New York to play their first American concert in the world- renowned Mostly Mozart Festival. After the gig on August 16, Carmignola and the VBO will present a free public concert on August 17 at the World Trade Center Borders store. Keep your eye on this site for further details. Meanwhile, check out the album web site, including video and music clips from the new release.

Latest Word from Hilary: This time, Philadelphia
After a busy spring that included concerts and recording sessions on both sides of the Atlantic, Hilary Hahn finds time to write from Philadelphia. As you'll learn, the violinist performs with an old friend and a new colleague, and prepares for a summer of intensive learning (but this time, Hilary won't be studying scores). Catch the news and the views in Hilary's latest Postcard from the Road.
