Michel Legrand revisits some of his greatest work including The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, The Young Girls of Rochefort, The Summer of 42, The Thomas Crown Affair, and Yentl. Recorded in October 2010 in Moscow, this 2CD set features The Moscow Virtuosi and was arranged, conducted and produced by Michel Legrand...

The Music of Michel Legrand is a double disc collection of some of Michel Legrand's highlights working in the film industry. Legrand continues to receive great critical acclaim, most recently being nominated for a Broadway Tony Award for Best Original Musical Score for the musical Amour. Legrand has worked with many of the greatest artists of the 20th century including Frank Sinatra, Miles Davies, Orson Welles, Barbra Streisand, Edith Piaf, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles and Maurice Chevalier.

For me the highlights of this collection include: 'I Was Born In Love With You' (Wuthering Height); 'Suite' (Yentl); 'The Summer Knows' (Summer Of 42); and 'Concerto' (Les Demoiselles De Rochefort).

For fans of Legrand's work, this is an essential purchase. And for those who love classically scored soundtracks, this is well worth investing your time and money in.
