이 곡은 영국의 런던 출생으로 런던 왕립음악원에서 공부하고, 베를린 빈에 유학했으며, 1933년 미국으로 건너가 할리우드에서 영화음악 작곡가로 활동한 Richard Addinsell이 작곡한 영화 음악이다. 영화 위험한 달빛(1941)에 사용된 라흐마니노프풍의 피아노 협주곡인 바르샤바 협주곡은 이 영화의 전펀에서 흐르며 마지막 장면에서 전 곡이 연주되는, 별빛 같이 아름다운 멜로디와 환상적인 분위기가 아주 매혹적이다. 영화의 줄거리는 유명한 폴란드의 피아노 연주가 출신이 영국의 공군에서 활약하는 내용을 그린 것이라 한다.

Richard Addinsell

Richard Addinsell (January 13, 1904 - November 14, 1977) was a British composer, best known for film music, primarily his Warsaw Concerto, composed for the film Dangerous Moonlight (also known under the later re-title Suicide Squadron).

He didn't attend school, being taught at home. Later, after studying at Hertford College, Oxford, he made incomplete attempts at studying Law, and then Music (at The Royal College of Music, spending time in Berlin and Vienna) were both abandoned without formal qualifications. His style is very much what might be called "English Light Music." Films for which he wrote the music include:

The Amateur Gentleman (1936)
Fire Over England (1937)
Goodbye Mr. Chips (1939)
Gaslight (1940)
Blithe Spirit (1945)
Scrooge (1951)
Tom Brown's Schooldays (1951)
The Prince and the Showgirl (1957)
A Tale of Two Cities (1958)
Beau Brummell (1955)
The Waltz of the Toreadors (1962)

 

The Warsaw Concerto was written for the 1941 film, Dangerous Moonlight, and continues to be a popular piano piece. The film-makers wanted something in the style of Sergei Rachmaninoff, but were unable to persuade Rachmaninoff himself to write a piece. Although Addinsell created the melodic material, the job of producing a concerto in the style of Rachmaninoff fell to Roy Douglas. The piece has been recorded over one hundred times and has sold in excess of three million copies.

Addinsell also wrote the short orchestral piece "Southern Rhapsody", which was played every morning at the start of TV broadcasts by the former Southern Television company in south of England from 1958 to 1981. Like much of his film music, it has been heard by millions of people who do not know either its title or the composer's name, and is still fondly remembered even today.

Addinsell also collaborated from 1942 with Joyce Grenfell, for both West End revues (including Tuppence Colored and Penny Plain) and Grenfell's one-woman shows.

In 1932 he wrote, with Clemence Dane, the incidental music for the Broadway adaptation of Alice in Wonderland by Eva LeGallienne, starring Josephine Hutchinson (prod. 1933). In 1947 it was revived, starring Bambi Linn.

Addinsell was known for his Christmas parties and was part of a social circle that included many of the Biggest british Arts/Entertainment/Royal celebrities of the 1930s and 40s.

Jean-Yves Thibaudet

장 이브 티보데(Jean-Yves Thibaudet, 1961.9.7~ ) 프랑스 오베르뉴주(州) 리옹에서 독일인 아버지와 프랑스인 어머니 사이에서 태어난 티보테는 5세 때 피아노를 시작 파리음악원에서 이탈리아 피아니스트 알도 치콜리니(Aldo Ciccolini)에게 사사받았다. 1978년 비오티 국제음악콩쿠르와 1979년 로베르 카사슈 콩쿠르에서 모두 2위로 입상했으며, 1981년 뉴욕 신예 연주가 연주를 통해 미국에도 알려졌다. 이후 샤를 뒤투아와 블라디미르 아슈케나지, 제임스 레바인, 마이클 틸슨 토머스등과 협연했다.

라벨과, 드뷔시의 음반에서 아름다운 음색의 연주를 들려주는 한편, 리스트의 작품에서도 정통 독일의 피아니스트 음색에 절대 뒤지지 않는 완벽한 연주를 펼치고 있으며 특히 아슈케나지의 절대적인 지지를 받고 있다. 1993년에는 올리비에 메시앙의 튀랑갈리라를 녹음 디아파종상과 폴란드의 에디손상을 수상했으며, 아슈케나지 지휘로 클리블랜드오케스트라와 세르게이 라흐마니노프의 피아노협주곡을 녹음했다. 정교한 음색을 자랑하며, 21세기의 유망한 피아니스트로 촉망받고 있다.

     

Warsaw Concerto

The Warsaw Concerto is a piano concerto written by British composer Richard Addinsell for the 1941 film, Dangerous Moonlight (also known under the later re-title Suicide Squadron). While Addinsell created the melodic motives, the fine orchestration was by Roy Douglas, whose contribution is rarely acknowledged.

The film's love-story plot revolves around the fictional composer of the piece, a piano virtuoso and "shell-shocked" combat pilot, who is a refugee in England from the World War II occupation of Poland and considers returning to Poland to rejoin the war. The actor was a would-be pianist, so his hands are seen playing in the film, but in fact the music on the soundtrack is played by an uncredited musician, Louis Kentner.

The theme of the concerto is also borrowed in a popular-music love song whose lyrics include "The world outside will never know...".

The film-makers wanted something in the style of Sergei Rachmaninoff's Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini and Second and Third Piano Concertos, but were unable to persuade Rachmaninoff himself to write a piece.

Spike Milligan repeatedly refers to the piece in his autobiography Adolf Hitler: My Part in his Downfall as 'the bloody awful Warsaw Concerto'.
