miss-julieA soundtrack album for Liv Ullman’s period drama Miss Julie has been released. The album features the film’s music compiled from the the works of Schubert, Schumann, Chopin, Arensky and Bach and performed by violinist Arve Tellefsen, cellist Truls Mørk and pianist Håvard Gimse. The soundtrack is now available digitally on Amazon, where you can also listen to audio samples. Miss Julie is directed by Liv Ullman and stars Jessica Chastain, Colin Farrell and Samantha Morton. The movie based on the August Strindberg play is set during the course of a midsummer night in Ireland in 1890 and follows an unsettled daughter of Anglo-Irish aristocracy, who encourages her father’s valet to seduce her.

    “The album features the film’s original music compiled from the the works of Schubert, Schumann, Chopin, Arensky and Bach…”

    So it’s not original music at all.

    What is that famous Cello Sonata I heard at the beginning of the movie of Miss Julie. I hear it several times in movies. It was in one of Stanley Kubricks Movies. It’s very haunting. I’ve searched and searched, and cannot find it. I hoping somebody will know it or what I’m talking about.

    Franz Schubert. Piano Trio in E-flat major, Opus 100. There is a piano in there, but it starts with strings. Appears in Kubrick’s Barry Lyndon and in Miss Julie.
