Antoine Duhamel's wide-ranging repertoire includes symphonies and operas, but nothing captured the public's imagination like his work for ‘60s French New Wave films. Through his scores for Jean-Luc Godard and François Truffaut, he demonstrated his feel for an on-screen narrative, adding layers of emotion through melody and texture. He scored Fernando Trueba's Oscar®-winning Belle Époque in 1992, establishing his reputation. Marrying an imposing pipe organ with strings and orchestral gravity with tango, he earned a place in the pantheon of cinema's musical greats.
