Sound editor Stephen Griffiths, re-recording mixer Deb Adair and others on the team, set the stage for Cate Blanchett's conductor to question whether or not she can trust her ears.
Cate Blanchett, director Todd Field and composer Hildur Guðnadóttir break down the vital role classical music plays in the critically hailed ‘Tár.’“She has misphonia, which means she’s very sensitive to certain sounds,” says re-recording mixer Deb Adair, who worked principally with dialogue and music tracks. “Todd and I played around with those scenes a lot.
Much of the film is centered on rehearsals for a live recording of Mahler’s Fifth Symphony and Elgar’s Cello Concerto by a major Berlin symphony orchestra where Tár is the first female conductor. In the Trauermarsch, the symphony’s first movement, the magnitude of the full orchestra is palpable.
“She’s just amazing,” Griffiths says of Blanchett in the scene. “She can be funny, witty, intelligent and then get to the piano and do a pastiche of Glenn Gould and actually play the music in three different styles. It says everything about her in that scene. It shows her brilliance and also her Achilles’ heel, the fact that she humiliated a student, the worst thing any teacher can ever do. She just can’t stop herself.
The mix and edit took place at London’s famed Abbey Road Studios, a familiar location to UK-based Griffiths, but a rare treat for Adair, who’s from L.A. “I had to pinch myself every single day walking through those doors,” she says, noting that she didn’t get a picture of herself on the crosswalk made famous by the Beatles because her English crew sneered at the tourists lined up there for selfies.
