Quotes:

“As a kid, my dream was to have a baby grand piano. I just bought a big black Yamaha that’s practically double the size of my apartment. I often get insomnia and like to bash out a few chords in the middle of the night to release tension. I wish I could play Beethoven, but I’m not good enough. I do a lot of Chopin instead.” ( x )

What about your own taste in music? - "I have filthy test in music. It's quite embarrassing. Am I giving you the list to say to pretend I have taste or the real list?" 

The real list! - "Anything that's in a chart! Whenever I am in Los Angeles I turn on the sort of cheesy radio and get mocked by my friends for humming along to whatever's playing. I'm definitely a Rihanna fan." ( x )

Eddie studied classical music when he was a kid, and he attended ballet shows and concerts, I assume 

there are classical pieces that he likes. I wonder, what are his favorites.

  

For those who are interested in the event:

The Echo Klassik, often stylized as ECHO Klassik, is Germany's major classical music award in 26 nominations. 

The award is held annually, usually in October or September. (source: Wikipedia)

Natalie Wörner attended the event as a presenter - videos:

Natalie presented the lifetime achievement award to Placido Domingo: Placido Domingo on "Echo der stars" 18/10/09 

After a short description of his achievements (German) he sings "Amor,vida de mi vida" and gets the award (6:50).

Unfortunately I couldn't find Eddie in the video, even though they showed the audience a lot in the Domingo clip.

Hungarians in Eddie's films

I'm Hungarian, so very interested in what Hungarian actors were Eddie Redmayne's co-stars in "The Pillars of the Earth" and "Birdsong", that filmed here. A lot of people worked with him, I write about two of them in this post.
They are famous in Hungary.

Tibor Pintér 
He mainly plays in theatre in musicals and rock operas, and he appears sometimes in TV series.
He's very fond of horses and leads a special equestrian theater. IMDB

Action-Hero in "The Pillars of the Earth"

The hero bravely undertakes dangerous stuff, in order to help others, even if he has little chance for success.

Eddie Redmayne About 'The Pillars of The Earth': This is the biggest project I've worked on in terms of the scale of the set. Three-quarters of a 12th-century cathedral has been built in a field in Hungary. It's incredible. It is an amazing cast to be working with as well. People who know Pillars from the novel are very passionate about it. The characters kind of get under their skin. (x)
