A couple of weeks ago Warner Music released a new recording of music by iconic actor/director Charlie Chaplin arranged and performed by virtuoso violinist Philippe Quint. It was a labor of love for Philippe as he discovered a whole new side to Chaplin as a composer for many of his films. Recently John Van Driel sat down with Philippe Quint and Kiera Chaplin, granddaughter of Charlie Chaplin, to discuss the new recording.
