The Red Violin (1998)

An old friend recommended this to me some years ago...

Had mixed views about it then. Hated the 'fake playing' in it, as I do in most movies (Michelle Pfiefer's character in 'What Lies Beneath' comes most prominently to mind, posing as a Julliard Cellist. Yeah, right). The Bond girl in The Living Daylights was quite convincing though - thought that was quite effective!

Randomly listening to Maxim Vengerov's interpretation of Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto in D Major today, and was curious as to whether it might have been played in the movie... Am curious to know if any tracks of the classical repertoire were used, or whether it was a complete movie Original Soundtrack.

Remember the movie itself being interesting, intriguing, but nothing special or spectacular.
