Philippe Sarde
Philippe Sarde 1948-
Philippe Sarde was born June 21, 1945, in Neuilly-sur-Seine. His mother was an opera singer. When he was still very young he enrolled at the Conservatoire de Paris, where he studied composition with Noel Gallon. He wrote some classical pieces which he now consider as being of little interest, and felt himself attracted by the idea of working for the cinema. In 1969 he met Claude Sautet who gave him his first chance: LES CHOSES DE LA VIE. Since then he has worked on approximately 110 feature films.
Although popular in his native France for his light and tuneful film scores, Philippe Sarde has gained a notable reputation in America for his more symphonically-oriented film compositions. First brought to Stateside attention when he scored Roman Polanski’s TESS, Sarde subsequently provided notable scores for GHOST STORY, QUEST FOR FIRE and PIRATES. He has also enjoyed regular collaborations in France with directors such as Robin Davis, Claude Sautet, Alain Corneau, Bertrand Tavernier and Pierre Granier Deferrer. Interviewed in France while working on the score for PIRATES, Sarde discussed his experiences and attitudes towards film music.
La Fille de d’Artagnan marks Philippe Sarde's return to a major score in his career. The award-winning Sony Classical recording has been specially reworked for the occasion. Philippe Sarde tells us more...
