Topic: PHILIP GLASS
The new movie, No Reservations, starring Academy Award®-winner Catherine Zeta-Jones (Chicago) and Golden Globe® nominee Aaron Eckhart (Thank You for Not Smoking), is destined to become the romantic film of the summer. This culinary comedy drama, directed by Oscar-nominated Scott Hicks (Shine), is set in a New York City restaurant and also features Academy Award® nominee Abigail Breslin (Little Miss Sunshine). The soundtrack will be released on Decca July 24th. The recipe for this musical masterpiece starts with a generous helping of Italian arias performed by world-renowned tenor Pavorotti, Renata Telbaldi, Joan Sutherland, Carlo Bergozzi, and Joseph Calleja. Next, contemporary ingredients were added such as; Michael Buble, Liz Phair, Paolo Conte, & Ray Gelato. Finally, combine with original music by Oscar-winning composer, Philip Glass. The end result is the perfect collection of music to compliment this traditional love story set in modern times. Philip Glass has been the music mastermind to such acclaimed films as Notes of a Scandal and The Illusionist. Glass remains one of the most important American composers. His music is distinctive, haunting, and evocative. Either heard alone or on film, his compositions move the listener to unexplored places. Master Chef Kate Armstrong (Catherine Zeta-Jones) lives her life like she runs her kitchen at a trendy Manhattan eatery-with a no-nonsense intensity that both captivates and intimidates everyone around her. Kate's perfectionist nature is put to the test when she "inherits" her nine-year-old niece Zoe (Abigail Breslin), while contending with a brash new sous-chef who joins her staff. High-spirited and freewheeling, Nick Palmer (Aaron Eckhart) couldn't be more different from Kate, yet the chemistry between them is undeniable. This Warner Bros. film opened nationwide on July 27, 2007.
