Knock - Cyrille Aufort CD

MovieScore Media and Quartet Records join forces in a groundbreaking collaboration to release Cyrille Auforts energetic score for Lorraine Lvys comedy starring Omar Sy in the title role. Knock is a classic French play which has already had several prior screen adaptations. It tells the story of Doctor Knock (Sy) who arrives in a town whose patients are too healthy. By using his charming personality and cunning deceit, the good doctor convinces everybody that they have some sort of great illness. But when he meets the beautiful Adle (Ana Girardot), his plan may very well fall through French composer Cyrille Auforts score is anchored by a strong network of themes, driven by Knocks propulsive motif, full of plans and hopes. While this theme is active and always in motion, the theme for Adle lends a feminine charm to the narrative. It perfectly complements Knocks restless personality with a childlike wonder recalling the sound of a magical music box. To bring two such wildly different characters together, Aufort introduces a third musical element, something a little more romantic to characterize the mutual attraction between the two protagonists ("Adle and Knock," "Farewell to Adle"). The odious Lansky (a character who knows the truth about Knock) has his own espionage-flavored melody. The CD package includes a 12-page full-color booklet with liner notes by Gergely Hubai, and statements from director Lorraine Lvy and composer Cyrille Aufort.Additional Info: Smith's superb keyboard technique is only half of his musical magic. The other is his astonishing ability to paint atmospheres and create exquisite moods. The feeling of this album is perfectly evinced, relaxed and cool, spacious yet textured and sophisticated enough to keep the ear consistently intrigued. The album's title and cover photo are an homage to a soul food diner in Harlem called Kate's Home Cooking, and the tunes parallel a range of subtle, carefully prepared flavors.
