Actress Helen Mirren expresses her affinity for classical music, singling out Stravinsky as a particular favorite.
In the world of entertainment, it's not uncommon for artists to have diverse interests outside of their craft. Two such individuals, Dame Helen Mirren and Olivier Award winner Celia Imrie, have a shared passion for classical music.
Helen Mirren, best known for her roles in films like "The Queen" and "Gosford Park," may not be a musical prodigy, but her love for classical music is undeniable. She has expressed her affection for Stravinsky's compositions and finds classical music uplifting and exciting.
During a recent discussion with Emma Thompson and Celia Imrie, the trio shared their mutual appreciation for the genre. Mirren revealed that when she listens to music, she tends to lean towards classical pieces.
Celia Imrie, who is also involved in Wes Anderson's new film "The Phoenician Scheme," has a unique connection with classical music. She often finds herself dancing around her kitchen to the tunes of Prokofiev, Tchaikovsky, or Coppelia. Despite not fully understanding opera, Imrie has a soft spot for Puccini's compositions.
Imrie's love for music runs deep, as her mother was a violinist who received a certificate from the war office for entertaining troops during the war. Her connection with music is so profound that she claimed she couldn't live without it.
In the discussion, the three actresses also emphasised that music fills their lives. Mirren, who currently stars in Netflix's "The Thursday Murder Club," added that classical music brings a certain level of excitement and joy to her life.
As for the music in Wes Anderson's new film, "The Phoenician Scheme," the search results do not provide information on who composed the score for the film. Regardless, it's clear that both Mirren and Imrie are looking forward to contributing to Anderson's latest project.
Mirren's father, who played the viola, likely played a role in her early exposure to classical music. This shared love for music serves as a testament to the power of art to connect people and bring joy into their lives.
