Romy Schneider, un portrait musical

Description

CAM Sugar and Decca Records France present a new original anthology centered on the four iconic films born of the collaboration between Oscar-winning composer Philippe Sarde, legendary director Claude Sautet, and iconic actress Romy Schneider: four soundtracks, four musical portraits of Romy at four moments in her life, as an artist and as a woman. This exceptional album brings together for the first time these four soundtracks and their songs, including the incandescent “Chanson d’Hélène” by Romy Schneider and Michel Piccoli, in its French and Italian versions from “Les Choses de la vie”; “La Lettre de Rosalie” by Romy from “César & Rosalie”; the title song of “Max et les ferrailleurs” by Mouloudji; “Une Histoire Simple” as well as a world premiere recording: “La Maison sur la plage,” a lost song written by Sarde and Jean-Loup Dabadie for Schneider in 1972, now recorded with grace by Alice Taglioni, especially for this project. Listening to these four scores in succession reveals the magical chemistry between an actress, a filmmaker, and a composer: “Through her magnetism and her fragilities, Philippe Sarde sums up, Romy is undoubtedly the actress who touched and inspired me the most.”
