Mastering The Red Violin - Interview with John Corigliano
The Red Violin was only the third film score you've written - you are primarily a concert composer. What drew you to this particular film?
"I had a disappointing experience on Revolution. It wasn't Hugh Hudson's fault; but neither the production nor the music came out the way I thought it would, and the film wasn't a success. I'd still had many offers, but I was just going to leave the film music scene and not come back until Peter Gelb from Sony came to me with the script for The Red Violin.
