brocreate: And Just Like That | Abel Korzeniowski
Colin Firth: Abel Korzeniowski—he made such an impact on that film. And I think I got an awful lot of acting credit for what was in fact a music cue from him.
Interviewer: That was your… co-star?
Colin Firth: The cello. I mean—there all these sort of clichés about it being the sound of the soul, the voice of the soul. All those strings that he used. He uses them in such a versatile way that sometimes I’m not quite sure what’s a cello and what’s a viola… but they ache. And I find it almost painful to listen to, actually, because that character has been someone who’s followed me around quite a bit. It might have been the piece where George dies, and Jim comes and gives him a kiss … it’s such a plaintive and gentle and humane sound … I’ve never felt so completely that the music of the film conforms to what I felt or thought at the time. It was perfect harmony between those two things. [x]
