Music speaks above all to the subconscious, and the best movie soundtracks exploit this quality to add depth to an image without overpowering it. Yet some film scores continue to live on in our imaginations years after scenes from the movie itself have faded from memory. As filmmaker Robert Bresson said, “music always evokes images, but images never evoke music.” More than any other art, music can take listeners into an imaginary realm that even the magic of cinema can never equal. "Through the years, I have played and recorded [many] great film scores, all irresistible, which have accompanied me on stage, all over the world. As a bonus to this album, you will find these unforgettable masterworks associated with film: Joe Hisaishi’s Princess Mononoke, Stanley Myers’ The Deer Hunter, my friend François Dompierre’s A Fairy Tale, John Williams’ Schindler’s List, and Ennio Morricone’s The Mission. For 35 years now, I have been sharing my passion and enjoying what is for me one of the most beautiful professions in the world. Without language barriers, I have been able to travel in more than 40 countries and have made my instrument sing, cry and dance. I have always thought that the violin was capable of transmitting the whole range of human emotions, as is the case here with this collection of musical treasures from the seventh art. The music speaks, no need for images. I suggest that you offer yourself this gift and attach your own images overflowing with memories." - Angèle Dubeau
