Michel Legrand

Just got through listening to the latest Legrand release from this series and it's terrific. I'd just watched Le Piscine so it was fun to hear the score again - the song (in English "One At A Time" ) is one of my favorite Legrand melodies. And it's great to have the bit of Le Mans, too.

"Le Mans" is a incredible beautiful score !

His love theme is mysterious, ethearal and subtile one ! I love this score very much !!

Can anyone point out the track listing for the new Demy/Legrand Universal France CD?

I don't know the exact track listing but the films included are :

- Lola
- Les Sept Péchés capitaux (La luxure )
- La baie des anges
- Les Parapluies de Cherbourg
- Les Demoiselles de Rochefort
- Peau d’âne
- L'événement le plus important depuis que l'homme a marché sur la Lune (unreleased !)
- Lady Oscar (unreleased !)
- Parking (re-recorded !)
- Trois places pour le 26

+ Anoushka (unreleased musical, very rare !)

I'm not sure this book has already been discussed on this board before, "Le Cinéma enchanté de Jacques Demy" :

Yes, but unfortunately I don't read it...

Tell me please that the terrible vocals by Francis Huster have been replaced. This guy can't sing. I wouldn't say that he totally ruined the movie since this film has got so many flaws, but it surely helped to be Demy's worst film.
But maybe it's re-recording of the score, which would be surprising since the original recording sees to be still available (one track was included in the Universal Legrand box set). The score in itself is rather good (as long as Huster doesn't sing), and and has not aged badly.
