Gabriel Yared

Matthew Sweet talks to Gabriel Yared, composer of the scores for The English Patient, Betty Blue and The Talented Mr Ripley in the week of the launch of The Happy Prince.

Matthew Sweet talks to the Lebanese-born composer Gabriel Yared, who worked closely with director Anthony Minghella on scores for "The English Patient", "The Talented Mr Ripley" and "Cold Mountain", about his career in film music. Gabriel tells Matthew that he began as a law student and then became a music arranger before studying with the French composer Henri Dutilleux, then breaking into film music with his score for "Betty Blue". And he talks about working with Rupert Everett on "The Happy Prince", released in the UK this week, based on the Oscar Wilde story and featuring a new score from Gabriel.
