'Les Miserables' Concerto
on: October 20, 2005, 04:03:40 AM
In the French version of 'Les Miserables' with subtitles, there is a Nazi general who plays a piano concerto in the movie. I don't know what it is, but I'd like to know, since it is very beautiful and incredibly hard-looking. It sounds a bit like Prokofiev.

Anybody know?

Thanks,
Phil

Nazi general?  I thought Les Mis was set in the early-mid 1800's...? Must be "creative freedom."    :-\

It's a newer version, the whole thing is WWII era, and it's all in French. The credits on my copy are cut short, so it doesn't say what the piece is.
