The beginning of the path to glory
The biography of the future celebrity began in 1940 in Mexico City. The child was born into the family of the famous composer on May 2. Music lessons began in early childhood. The student played in restaurants and bars in his free time.
Ernesto completed his education at 17 under the guidance of film composer Gustavo Cesar Carreon. Cortazar himself began to write works for national cinema. The soundtrack for the film "La Risa de la Ciudad" was the play "River of Dreams". It won the eighteen-year-old author at the Cartagena Festival the Best Background Music for Latin American Films.
Confession
From that moment on, a professional career began. Cortazar performed a lot in different countries. After concerts, the musician, who enjoyed incredible success, always presented the listeners with the sheet music of the performed works with his autograph. His CDs were sold all over the world without any advertising.
Love has become the main theme of creativity. Cortazar has repeatedly admitted in an interview that he wants to talk about the most vivid, in his opinion, human feeling. Surprisingly gentle and sensual music is so soulful that it touches all corners of the soul. One of his compositions is called “Tears of a Woman”. The author explained the name: nothing destroys a man's heart like a woman's tears.
The author performed all the works without haste, gradually opening to the listeners the magical world of melodies and feelings. He seemed to open his soul to fans, giving confidence and peace with creativity. In his work "Waltz of Morelia", the maestro showed the dance of a woman moving to the rhythm of the waves of the sea.
Outcomes
His music is good for sadness and joy. Many works help to calm down and forget about all the problems. Passionate and lyrical, the music becomes almost airy at times. All melodies are created with soul, as the composer himself said. Cortazar has been called one of the most romantic musicians of the 20th century.
He wrote soundtracks for 75 films. In music, he also told the romantic story of his love. The talented musician passed away in 2004, on August 2. His business was continued by his two sons, Ernesto and Edgar. Both became successful composers.
In 1991 Ernesto wrote the theme for the TV series Madres Egoistas. Hollywood showed attention to the work of the young author. Cortazar founded the Tazzár Studio company. Her first brainchild was the Spanish musical production of "Songs for Travels" by Disney. In collaboration with Disney, the performances "Navidad Disney", "Arrritmética", "Lullaby" have appeared.
Ernesto Cortazar's melodies continue to enjoy well-deserved popularity among people who sincerely love instrumental music.
