Vladimir Cosma
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vladimir Cosma (born April 13, 1940) is a composer and violinist, born in Bucharest, Romania.
He has written the music for many well known French movies (e.g. La Boum) since the early 1970s.
He is perhaps most famous for the incidental music he composed for Jean-Jacques Beineix's 1981 film Diva, featuring impressionistic piano pieces in the style of Eric Satie (IMDB link). His compositions also include such works for the concert hall as his Trois mouvements d’éte for orchestra. One of his compositions was reworked by German trance musician DJ Sakin in 1999, with the track reaching the Top 20 in the UK.
Since 1963 he has lived in Paris, France.
