1972_Cabaret, By Bob Fosse, music by John Kander, lyrics by Fred Ebb.
Kander & Ebb are the music-making duo that has been filling New York theatres for forty years. Together, they authored masterpieces such as Cabaret of 1966 and Chicago of 1975.
1972_A Clockwork Orange, by Stanley Kubrick, music by Rossini, Beethoven, Purcell, versions of Wendy Carlos. “Do you realize that Innio (sic) Morriconi (sic, again) is my favorite composer? I don’t mean movie composers, that ghetto, I’m talking about Mozart, I’m talking about Beethoven, I’m talking about Schubert.” When Quentin Tarantino uttered those words at the 2016 Golden Globe, he was a bit inebriated, yes, but was he also right? We wonder as much as we listen to the score of a film by a director who never used original music, but always music by classical authors, with the only freedom of some interpretation by Wendy Carlos’ magical synth.
