6 years after the success of his album *Cinéma*, here is violinist Renaud Capuçon's much-anticipated new tribute to French film composers. “‘Les choses de la vie’ (The Things of Life)—that could have been the title of our weekly discussions with Jacques Chancel. He told me about his friend Georges Delerue, whom he asked to compose the theme music for the mythical show 'Radioscopie.' He spoke to me about his companion from Indochina, Pierre Schoendorfer, director of the film *Dien Bien Phu*, for which Delerue composed the score. As our discussions unfolded, I discovered the quality and depth of Georges Delerue's music. In homage to their talent, to the friendship between these men who are now gone, I wanted to create this album around the most eminent French composers of the 7th Art: Delerue, Sarde, Legrand, Jarre, Kosma, de Roubaix, Petit, Cosma, Lai, Yared, Rombi, Desplat. And through their music, to let you relive magical moments with the unforgettable Romy Schneider, Michel Piccoli, Yves Montand, Philippe Noiret, Louis de Funès, and so many others. May these 'Things of Life' fill you with as much wonder as we felt while recording them.”
