Fantasy for Violin and Piano was originally written for the final
scene of the feature film Ladies in Lavender where two Cornish
sisters (Dames Judi Dench and Maggie Smith) attend a London
premiere of a young virtuoso violinist (Daniel Bruhl) who they have
been nurturing back to health after a tragic accident at sea.
Although the piece was supposedly composed by the fictional Boris
Danilov, the job of creating an authentic period piece of dazzling
violin music fell to the film's composer, Nigel Hess, who utilized
the main theme of the film, transforming the romantic major theme
into an extended, bravura minor variation full of dramatic
intensity and longing. It has now become a popular piece in its own
right, establishing itself (not unlike the Warsaw Concerto before
it) as an audience favourite in the concert repertoire. The piece
was performed on the film soundtrack by Joshua Bell with the Royal
Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by the composer.
