Biography:One of the most versatile and talented French film composers, with over 200 scores on his resumé, Philippe Sarde is unfortunately little known outside of his home country. Encouraged by his mother, an opera singer, he became interested in music from the early age of three. He conducted a brief section of Carmen at the Paris Opera when he was four. At the age of five he began experimenting with sound recording and made his first short films during his adolescence.
