Michel Legrand-Jacques Demy : le cinéma en chanté

Description

Michel LEGRAND / Jacques DEMY The Enchanted Cinema Michel Legrand and Jacques Demy is much more than a collaboration between a composer and a filmmaker; it is a fusion encounter between two poets. In Legrand, Demy found a creative brother, a true musical double. His universe, both colorful and often cruel, seems forever inseparable from the enchanting melodies of the musician, from his highly sophisticated orchestrations, from his infinite lyricism, from his appetite for all languages, from baroque to jazz. On the occasion of the release of the complete Demy collection from Arte Vidéo, the Listen to Cinema! collection offers the very first Demy/Legrand anthology, from Lola to Three Seats for the 26th. Thirty years of shared brotherhood, marked by excerpts from great classics (The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, The Young Girls of Rochefort, Donkey Skin) but also rare soundtracks published for the first time on CD (The Most Important Event Since Man Walked on the Moon, Lady Oscar). For this album, Michel Legrand specially re-recorded the songs from Parking... but also a magnificent excerpt from Anouchka, a musical comedy that has remained unpublished. An enchanted record to remember an enchanted collaboration.
