With a captivating collection of lush new arrangements for violin and orchestra of film and TV scores, classical music from the movies, anime hits and new compositions by Oscar-winning composers, the album 'Cinéma' showcases Esther Abrami's versatility, musical sensitivity and technical mastery. 'Cinéma' features unique new arrangements of blockbuster hits such as 'Naruto', 'Demon Slayer', 'The Witcher' and 'The Hunger Games' alongside iconic French music such as 'Amélie' and 'Les Choristes' as well as beloved classics by Pjotr Tchaikovsky, Dmitri Shostakovich and Astor Piazzolla. The album also includes two world premiere recordings by OSCAR-winning composers Anne Dudley and Rachel Portman. Another particularly emotional piece on the album is a new arrangement of the protagonist's theme 'Zeyn' from the Lebanese social drama 'Capernaum'.
