Are you aware of any
American television shows that based their theme music on Symphony #6?
Thank you
Hilde Alter
Hello Hilde,
The Internet Movie Database is usually very good at this sort
of thing, and there is a list of Tchaikovsky's music used in film and
television soundtracks on their site at:
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0006318/
At a quick glance there don't seem to be any US television
shows in the list, but you might find it a useful starting point for your
search.
Hope this helps,
Brett Langston
Hello Hilde,
Tchaikovsky's 6th symphony was used extensively in the movie Anna
Karenina (1997) directed by Bernard Rose with Sophie Marceau and Sean
Bean. The movie begins with the first movement of the 6th and later parts
of all four movements were featured as background music throughout the
movie along with excerpts from Swan Lake, Eugene Onegin, and the violin
concerto. According to the credit, they were performed by the St. Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra with Sir Georg Solti as conductor.
