I love the bit in this film when they put up the Tricolour for the first time in 4 years (banned by the Nazis) on top of the Prefecture. Very enjoyable film all round. The book on which it is based is also a good read. Thanks Tadlowmusic!

[@lizzieallen2284]

Bravo! Thanks for sharing this wonderful music.

I have not thought of Maurice Jarre in a long time ! Thanks for the reminder. I think I need to revisit him. 12423

Éste bellisimo vals, cuyo título "ARDE PARÍS...??", es, junto al HIMNO NACIONAL LA MARSELLESA, el fondo musical de ésa película inolvidable...!!

[@pickfairguy]

A wonderful theme in classical style for the sea change taking place in America today. All lives matter, and hate will collapse under its own weight.

[@lp115lp]

vive la liberté!

[@garyraines7511]

Great piece of music by a great composer--some of the other renditions available here are kind of shopworn....this Prague orchestra lead by Nic Raine did this thing to perfection......thank you.

[@rodolfopalcios733]

Éste fondo musical inolvidable acompañó a la entrada de las Tropas Aliadas en París, en agosto de 1944, para liberar, junto a los partisanos, a la capital francesa del dominio alemán. Por eso se le llama el Vals de la Liberación...!!

[@orchidorio]

I love tis overture! Starts with dark and foreboding tones and ends with the city in spring. A must see WW II movie that ends so sweetly. 21123

brillante maurice.. great music.. saludos--

[@jeffreykozinski4585]

Great song from a great movie. Double combo!!

[@jslasher1]

Why do you call this a 'song'? I think iTunes terminology [which incorrectly refers to all music genre as a 'song'] has ruined your concept of what form of music this is. To correct you, it is an 'instrumental' orchestral work.

[@ChrisNovak-ProfessionalNerd]

@@jslasher1, this “instrumental orchestral work” has a name. It is called “Overture / Paris Waltz”. Therefore it is not only a tune / theme, but it is also a dance - a waltz. When listening to it, my mind’s eye can see the tempo, and imagine a ballroom full of dancers, waltzing to this music. Don’t be so hard on @Jeffrey Kozinski; I’m not musically trained either. So even if he didn’t get the music jargon correct, he and I can appreciate the genius of Maurice Jarre in producing a lovely piece of music for Is Paris Burning, as well as his other great works in Lawrence of Arabia, Doctor Zhivago, Ben Hur, and more.

[@jslasher1]

@@ChrisNovak-ProfessionalNerd This is a fine composition by M Jarre. One of my favourites.

[@vincentwilson7679]

Agree with you Garak a classic

[@Chowchowtanman]

One of the most amazingly intimate pieces of music ever played, written, and truly felt...it makes anyone, and everyone a little more 'French'....

[@stretch-fd4dg]

Yes it is I have the cd to Is Paris Burning and I have the movie, I know from history and WW@ that the movie is based on a true story but I wonder how much the movie embellish, I have been trying to find on Amazon the true story to the French Resistance fighters who fought to liberate Paris out of the hands of the Nazis but no such luck so far

[@robertodeleon-gonzalez9844]

@@stretch-fd4dg You could start by reading the book on which it is based, by Larry Collins and Dominique Lapierre. It is available at Amazon.com.

この曲は大好きなのですが、サウンドトラックレコードにあったオリジナル演奏が信じられない事にグランドピアノ6台、アップライトピアノ6台という構成だったとの事。これを再現する演奏の動画を観たいものです。

[@suecollins3246]

Try listening to the Geoff Love version of this - the album is entitled Great War Movie Themes.

[@MsGrandunion]

Geoff Love recorded the waltz, which is quoted within this overture, however its a separate piece of music.

[@markiewj49]

Waltz for sure. Wondered if Geoff Love's version was an arrangement of Jarre's original score? Nice to hear again though.

[@claudiyoazarate1473]

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@obduliorincon6112]

Nic Raine is a competent conductor, but sometimes it seems that his concern is with the quality of his re-recording (thus inducing some changes) and not with his fidelity to the original recording. This is what happened with "El Cid": small changes were made enough to decarterize the Miklós Rózsa style to show Nic Raine.

Terrific Jarre score... my Mom bought the LP Soundtrack album when it came out... sadly the movie is a bit draggy and tedious.

Not a memorable rendition. The Prague musicians are simply not up to the complexities of the overture. And where are the 10 grand pianos?

[@billgoodman3537]

typical movie score, whats special?

[@allantse3512]

Very well done. At last a new recording(digital) of this music that I have been hoping for is accomplished. Thanks to this orchestra and youtube. I owned a vinyl of the sound track and eventually a cd when it came out. If only digital recording was available then(in 1966) that soundtrack would have been tremendous with all the drums, cymbals, trumpets and in addition as I recall, Mr.Jarre was using 12 grand pianos in his orchestra to record this soundtrack. It would be so wonderful to hear all these instruments without any distortions !!! What a joy ?

[@orchidorio]

The idea brings tears to my eyes. Thank you. 12423

see 1966 'grand prix' movie score

[@jslasher1]

As I recall, given that this occurred some 48-years ago, from a conversation with Richard Rodney Bennett, during which time he was visiting Denver, where I was employed at the time for TWA. RRB informed me that his agent asked him if you would perform as one of the ten pianists in the soundtrack. Bennett declined.
