His sublime cello playing graced hundreds of film soundtracks, including many scores by Maestro John Williams. Cellist extraordinaire STEPHEN ERDODY is a true studio legend among Hollywood musicians.
In this conversation, Steve talks in-depth about his distinguished career as Hollywood’s preferred principal cello and his many collaborations with John Williams on such scores as ANGELA'S ASHES, A.I. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, MUNICH, WAR HORSE and many others, offering his own deep thoughts and reflections about the uniqueness of Maestro Williams’ music and the role of the cello in his scores, telling many stories and anecdotes from decades of recording sessions with him.
Another awesome interview! Thank you so much for doing these. It’s not just a celebration of John Williams but also of the tradition of highly-skilled session musicians who all have their own creative accomplishments outside of the film score itself.
