5 Films to discover your passion for classical music

The Intouchables (2011)

This wonderful French film tells the story of a quadriplegic man and his carer, who come from two totally different worlds. Apart from dealing with important issues such as respect for functional diversity and tolerance, this feature film incorporates pieces by the composer and pianist Ludovico Einaudi, as well as recalling such well-known compositions as The Four Seasons or the Prelude to Suite No. 1.

The Pianist (2002)

The film portrays the life of Wladislay Szpilman, a Polish pianist who suffered the ravages of World War II in his country with the German invasion. In addition to the brilliance of the film, the music also stands out; Chopin is the other great protagonist. From the Ballad in G minor to the Great Brilliant Polonaise, all the music present in the film is worth listening to. You can’t miss it!

Black Swan (2010)

What better way to unite the passion for dance and music in the same work? This great feature film updates the Tchaikovsky classic. A frustrated ballet dancer struggles to embody the role of both the white swan and the black swan in the production of Swan Lake; the tension between her mother, her director and their rivalries increase and will have devastating effects on her…

Amadeus (1985)

Envy, talent and rivalry are the protagonists of this story. Antonio Salieri was the most prominent musician at the court of Joseph II of Austria, but the arrival at the court of Wolfang Amadeus Mozart relegates him to the background. Salieri, wounded and full of envy, will try to ruin Mozart’s career. This film presents excellent interpretations of some of Mozart’s compositions, performed to perfection by the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields in London.

The Passion of the King (2000)

In this film we can observe the creative and power relationship between Jean Baptiste Lully and the “Sun King”, Louis XIV. Narrated in flashback, the superintendent of music of the Court remembers, while he is dying, the best moments of his life. We can appreciate, in an atmosphere of dance and music, the role and influence of Lully on the king and his relationship with other geniuses such as Jean Baptiste Poquelin, better known as Molière.
