5 out of 5 stars What A Treasure!!!.......2005-11-17

This Legrand Collection gets a 5 star rating from me. The music selection is comprehensive and the technical quality of the recordings is excellent all things considered. There are a number of tunes I wish had been included, but aren't ... such as additional songs from the Umbrellas of Cherbourg (besides the main theme), the love theme from "the Mountain Men and a number of others. The price of the collection is worth Norma Jean's Theme, Happy (Lady Sings The Blues), Noelle's Theme, and The Love Theme from Gable and Lombard (and there are more). There are a few things worthy of criticism in this collection, but I won't bother because if you like Legrand's music, as I do, I'm sure you'll overlook them as I have.

5 out of 5 stars Film Music par excellance!.......2005-09-24

If you are a fan of French cinema or movie music in general, this box set is a must. Legrand has done it all --muscials, drama, love stories and it's all here with the best of the best on four great discs.

5 out of 5 stars brilliant 4 disc set.......2005-07-21

this set is a great insight into this brilliant composers work,and a must have,for any film score collector.

4 out of 5 stars Gallic Greatness.......2005-07-08


It's been a long time coming, but a comprehensive overview of the extraordinary music of Michel Legrand has finally appeared. A super 4-disc set from Universal Jazz via the capable hands of producer Stephane Larouge, does some considerable justice to Legrand's prolific output, and hearing all these great tunes and flights-of-fancy back-to-back renews one's admiration for a composer who is simply genius personified. There's not much point in listing all the hits but everything bar the kitchen sink is included, from 'Lola' to 'La Bicyclette Bleue.' Those of us who've been enchanted by Legrand's infectious melodies over the years cannot help but be enthralled by such a bounteous bag of baubles, and Larouge's track selection encompasses the well-known, the not-so-known, and the (frankly) unknown, even for those aficianados who thought they knew it all. Wherever possible the original recordings have been used, and in some (disappointing) cases, re-recordings. Presumably rights issues, or lack of element availability denied access to my own favorite, 'The Go-Between,' for example, which is represented by the composer's concert version that appeared almost a decade after the film. These are minor quibbles, and shouldn't for a second dissuade anyone even remotely touched by the wealth of musical beauty in Legrand's canon from immediately clicking on their "add to basket" icon. Quite simply you are in for a five hour listening experience that encompasses some of the best music to come out of France in the twentieth century.

    5 out of 5 stars Heart-melting music.......2002-04-21

    I am listening to LITTLE BUDDHA as I write this. Magnificent. Tender. Up-lifting. Expansive. Meditative. Music that stands on it's own, without the film, but music that gives the film the majesty and spirituality it was expressing, in depicting scenes from the life of Buddha.

    Each melody brings tears to my eyes and full body chills. It lifts the hair on the back of my neck and arms. Whether cut #3, "The First Meeting" or # 12, "The Middle Way" or # 17, "Acceptance", this music instantly finds its way into my heart.

    # 5, "Nepalese Caravan" and # 8, "Red Dust", conjure an inner picture of far away India; jeweled elephants, sparkling Rajas wearing ropes of pearls, clouds of incense, wandering monks in ochre robes...a pageant of the enigmatic, sphinxian Orient. The music creates this vision with every note.

    If you have a fondness for eastern music, Indian specifically, and sumptuous strings, solo violins, flutes, tablas, and chords in that eternal fifth, like Gregorian chants or Indian ragas...this is the CD for you.

    I didn't know the composer, Ryuichi Sakamoto, before I saw this film. I've since learned he received an Academy Award for his score of THE LAST EMPEROR, which he also acted in. I am now a devoted fan of this extraordinary composer, musician, actor and artist.

    Bravo, Mr. Skamototo -- keep the music flowing. And thank you.

    5 out of 5 stars Original and moving.......2000-11-09

    Ryuichi Sakamoto is a musician with vision. This work for Bertolucci's Little Buddha is a work on its own. From the Main Theme, it sweeps you away into the very soul of what's to come.

    Fabulous styling that combines all types of music, peaking with Enlightenment. And before you think you are saturated, Catherine Bott's stunning vocals come in......such sensations!

    The images stirred up by this composer here leave you with strange longing. If you have caught the film, then this music takes you back to fantastic cinematography.

    One of Sakamoto's best since Last Emperor and Sheltering sky. Beautiful vocals by The Ambrosian Singers too.

    5 out of 5 stars Keep memories of the movie.......2000-09-17

    Even though this is a movie the sound track, it can stand alone as a work of art.

    Missing from the soundtrack, probably because is radically different than the rest of the music, is the song that is played on the radio during the initial car trip in Seattle "Mystery." The advantage in this album is that you can listen to it over and over again and it makes great background music.

    If you like Ryuichi Sakamoto's music as much as apposed to buying this for the sound track then you may be interested in his other compositions in "The Last Emperor", and "Wuthering Heights."

    3 out of 5 stars Decent Enough.......1999-10-16

    Some pleasant orchestral numbers, with some Indian and Oriental-type music thrown in, and one track with the almost-mandatory "Sakamoto-heavy-drum" sound. Pleasant to throw on while reading, but no big whoop.

    5 out of 5 stars Rififi ideal for fans of classic French "tough guy" movies.......2002-09-30

    For those who are enraptured by the Parisian underworld as it was depicted by some of the great auteurs of French cinema during the 50s and 60s, this disc is essential!

    Including the themes from such classic movies as Melville's "Bob Le Flambeur" and Truffaut's "Shoot the Piano Player", "Du Rififi Au Cine" allows one the opportunity to recreate the ambience of the French noirs in the comfort of one's own home.

    The sound is generally of a very high quality, (though the last track is flawed, perhaps through source tape decay?) and a lavishly illustrated liner note booklet acompanies the CD. In addition, it cannot be forgotten that all tracks have been composed by the main names in French movie music, including Paul Misraki and Georges Delerue.

    I found that "Rififi" has inspired me to search out some of the films, from which music has been included, that I had never had reason to see before, and this in itself has been highly rewarding. Films such as Jean Pierre Melville's "Le Doulos" (aka The Finger Man), which stars a young Jean Paul Belmondo, are difficult to find, but absolutely worth the effort.

    I honestly cannot reccommend this first disc in the series enough, and I assume that the further compilations would be equally good in dealing with the music of films from later decades. This is the soundtrack to a golden era in French cinema, and is not to be missed.

        5 out of 5 stars "For all his friends, he always seems to be alone...".......2002-11-25

        The year 1976 saw the release of a most singular new musical, "Bugsy Malone". Performed by a cast consisting entirely of children (average age: 12) and set in prohibition-era Chicago, "Bugsy" chronicled the adventures of opposing gangsters fighting for control of the, uh, "sasperilla" market. The movie itself is beautifully shot and well-acted by it's pint-sized cast, but the real star is the surprisingly good Paul Williams score.

        This Limited Edition CD contains all the original songs, newly remastered, straight from Japan. They range from the pensive title song, to the sultry "My Name is Tullulah", to the wistful "Ordinary Fool"; all with a distinctive ninteen twenties feel. The bouncy "Bad Guys" is a great comic tune ("We coulda been anything that we wanted to be/With all the talent we had") and "Fat Sam's Grand Slam" makes nice use of the honky-tonk piano used throughout the score.

        While the melodies on all the songs are gorgeous, it's the lyrics that really shine through. On the terrific "Down and Out", Williams fuses a sparkling wit ("Lady Luck is fickle/But a Lady is allowed to change her mind") with a gentle pathos ("Think of all the time you're wasting/Time's a precious thing to let roll by..."), and on the stunning "Tommorrow" he combines a torchy melody with lovely, aching lyrics.

        The album ends with the sweet "You Give a Little Love", whose repition of the first two lines ("You give a little love and it all comes back to you/You know you're gonna be remembered for the things that you say and do...") carries the movie into the closing credits.

        While I like the film, I almost feel the score is just a bit too good for it, and I would love to see a retooling of "Bugsy Malone" as a straight 20's musical, with adults in the cast. Until then, be satisfied with the Soundtrack, a must for Williams' fans and musical buffs.

        5 out of 5 stars Bugsy's Best.......2002-04-18

        This album shows the great songs of the movie Bugsy Malone. In an all children cast the music is very thematic and up beat but also can fit the mood. The notes will dnace in your head. If you like the movie, you remember it is a musical with great actors, acting, and dance. This CD is what I'vee been waiting for. I strongly suggest you get this one.
