Jazz / Easy Listening; Film Music; Original Score
Recorded: during December 2004, Belgium
Reynold da Silva's Silva Screen Records has been constructing a series of "essential" collections of major film composers' scores usually by making new recordings of portions of those scores or compiling recordings previously made for other projects, most often employing the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra. For this Michel Legrand album, the label has actually enlisted Legrand as conductor of the Flemish Radio Orchestra (whose contributions are not noted until you examine the CD booklet), with a few additional jazz musicians, plus Legrand himself on piano and (during the extended suite from The Go-Between) harpsichord. Still, these are new recordings, made in December 2004, and should not be confused with actual soundtrack recordings. Legrand oversees excerpts from some of his most popular scores, leaning heavily on the major themes, such as "I Will Wait for You" from The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, "Theme from Summer of '42," and "The Windmills of Your Mind" from The Thomas Crown Affair. These tracks tend to run from three to six minutes each, though the suite from The Three Musketeers passes eight minutes, and the album concludes with two suites each lasting about 14 minutes, a medley from Yentl and six "variations" from The Go-Between. Revisiting music dating back to the 1960s, Legrand provides interpretations that do not quite re-create the soundtracks, leaning more toward easy listening versions, but without going too far. Still, a compilation of the original versions (with, for example, Miles Davis actually playing on "Dingo" instead of being imitated by Claude Egea) would be preferable.
