Patrick Cassidy Film Composer (Hanibal) Interview

Patrick Cassidy Film Composer (Hanibal)
Enjoy this interview with the legend that is Patrick Cassidy. Discover his humble beginnings in Ireland, his wonderful success, moving to America, training under Hans Zimmer, his wonderful Hannibal success and his global recognition. Did you know that he has been rewarded with the title of Cavaliere dell’Ordine della Stella d’Italia - Knight of the Order of the Star of Italy? He is the only living composer in the Warner Classics CD, 40 Most Beautiful Arias.
Whilst Hannibal is an astonishing moment in Patrick's career, he's a mile off being a one-hit wonder. Astonishingly, his Children of Lir, the first major symphonic work written in the Irish language which was recorded by the London Symphony Orchestra, remained at Number One in the Irish Classical Charts for over a year. This led to his receiving the Medal of Honour and Distinguished Alumni Award from The University of Limerick.

Than you very much for this interview. Patrick Cassidy seems such a humble and friendly person. I'm not so surprised that he initially studied Mathematics and worked in that field... After all, that can be uselful for music and all the computer stuff he has to use.
I discovered Patrick Cassidy thanks to his collaboration with Lisa Gerrard, over 18 years ago, that produced this magnificent album called "Immortal Memory" and much later, I had - finally ! - the idea to seek for what Patrick was doing and the internet can be wonderful for that.. Otherwise, I'd just own that CD with Lisa G. and his other albupms are very good too. I've fgot a soft sppot for Cruit that merges traditional anciient harp music with classical music and JS Bach, especially, I think. I guess nobody knows him here in France, I've never ever heard about him here. I managed to get his few albums thanks to the internet too... including his more recent Mass. Very, very talented composer. I wish there would be more music available from him.
