Michel Legrand Orchestra - Les Parapluies de Cherbourg - Suite

Response to nickel serenade ~ In 1979 Legrand recorded an orchestal suite still the standard version running just over 31 minutes with some nice jazz passages early on . Recorded in London with British jazz soloists but essentially a wonderful musicals film score touching all bases. This version featuring harp is much later early 1990s when I purchased my copy initially I preferred the earlier jazz inflected version Nowadays . I'm torn between both almost equally attractive. and who doesn't like harp featured prominently in an orchestra? In response and apologies to bkynbiker such is the swift changing state of the disc business I just do not know whether this recording is still available.
Legrand treated us to two full orchestral settings of his most successful musical. In this one harp (Catherine Michel) is featured as main protagonist but apart from a minor reshaping and redistribution of the music the score at 32mins is essentially the same. The jazz aspects of the music are muted in favour of a concert style symphonic suite Someone noted in U Tube commentary~at 24 minutes a similarity to Dr Kildare a theme we all love Yet As one primed to pick up unintended similarities musical patterns and phrases swishing through the universe~ surprise it completely bypassed me Jerry Goldsmiths Dr Kildare theme is almost bell ringing romantic but music is also about context The romantic mood in the Legrand at 24 minutes is more subdued an incidental musical link in the overall sweep of the Suite

Absolutely brilliant. I am reminded so well of the time I chanced upon the film in 1966 by pure accident. It has been my favorite film since that time. So beautiful.

Je ne m’en lasse jamais. J’ai connu cette version il y a 6 ans, j’avais 14 ans elle me réchauffait le coeur. À 20 ans c’est toujours le même bouleversement tout en la redécouvrant d’une autre manière.

我が青春の時代にめぐり合った感動というレベルを超越するMichel Legrand !! Merci beaucoup !!

[@talolaish]

I Can listen This concert again and again... Wonderful!!!

[@arlettesophiemusi7240]

Quelle Merveille 🎊🎄📽🎇🎊Cet Orchestre dirigé par ce Grand Musicien Mr Michel Legrand🎇👌😘

[@BrunoGebarski]

Michel Legrand has the touch of a musical genius, the colorful arranging pencil of the Debussy of French Jazz, the melodic flamboyance of Thelonious Monk (Round Midnight), the Bebop style and intricacy of Lalo Schifrin (Jazz Meets The Symphony) all summed up in the delicate taste of a fabulous mouth watering (puff pastry - Blätterteig - Mille-feuille) French croissant just coming out of an oven.

[@VJBlues]

There are not enough words of praise to describe the creative musical genius of Maestro Legrand ... !!!

[@karmacounselor]

I agree...poetically said...beautiful!

[@leoray1234]

what a great descriptive comment...I keep coming back again and again to this soundtrack for those reasons. Thanks for your words.

[@rafaelsouzacarvalho7844]

Legrand nos deixará saudades. A primeira vez que ouvi Um Verão de 42, tinha 10 anos. Sempre acompanhei seu trabalho.

[@Aurora-ph6mk]

No lo entiendo.en España se estrenó en el año 66

[@GillesLavigueur]

Une interprétation d'un envoutement radieux ...

[@kamransultanly545]

It's the best version of Cherbourg Umbrellas. I've used to play it in chamber orchestra back 17 years ago, since then I'm listening it sometimes. But 4 months ago found harp version and can't listen other versions already :D This music combines quite lots of deep emotions

[@goo2m]

Thank you for uploading this. This is just beautiful . I watched this musical a lifetime ago, it was really special - the details of the colors on the set and, of course, Legrand's music.

[@stevebartley8902]

Fantasy for harp and orchestra. Totally over the top and brilliant. ❤️

[@salvadorbrotonssoler6308]

Excel-lent música. Aquesta versió amb arpa és un veritable concert per arpa i orquestra. Fabulosa orquestració i interpretació. Legrand és molt gran.!!!

[@mohieyahmed4209]

Una melodia que ha trascendido todas las epocas, Legrand un grande de la musica

[@sabinaidayatova2130]

So much purity in this masterpiece......

[@onecello9577]

Michel TheGreat haha... there's a composer who knew every trick in the book. Him, Bernstein, Mancini, Williams, Barry, Hermann, what an incredible legacy, when orchestral music became, in the main, a playground for actors and directors... I wonder did Saint-Saëns realise he'd opened Pandora's box when he wrote the very first film score (at least as far as the symphony was concerned).

Legrand, le grand!

[@zerodegrekelvin2]

Je suis même pas né quand le film est sortie, j'entends parfois mes parents font des références au film, parcontre la musique du film a très bien voyagé à travers le temps, c'est un film assez triste parcontre, une dame qui préfère un vieux riche versus son pauvre jeune beau.

[@jesusmaful]

Miren la película completa esta en KZbin. Es una obra musical con Catherine Deneuve, bellísima. Legrand es tambioén un maestro del jazz.

[@margaritajimenez2721]

I lo

[@margaritajimenez2721]

Increíble inigualable un final tristisimo

[@maberlinberlin]

Herr Legrand hat die Fantasie eines genialen Komponisten mit der Ausdrucksstärke eines himmlischen Wesens mit dem Einklang einer französischen Seele. Diese unglaubliche Musik spiegelt eine unglaubliche Welle von so unterschiedlichen Emotionen wieder. Musik, Film und Künstler sind aus einem Guss und harmonieren vollendet. Einfach großartig und unvergesslich - nicht wiederholbar. Die Harfe eines der schönsten Instrumente in dieser orchestralen Fassung einfach unübertroffen. Mr. Legrand has the imagination of an ingenious composer with the expressive power of a celestial being with the unison of a French soul. This incredible music reflects an incredible wave of emotions. Music, film and artists are of one piece and harmonize perfectly. Simply great and unforgettable - not repeatable. The harp of one of the finest instruments in this orchestral version simply unsurpassed.

[@habicht6]

man kann es sich immer wieder anhören... herzerwärmend... Frau Burguet hat Recht....

[@patriciazygutis5758]

Beautiful music. I watched movie The Umbrellas of Cherbourg when young and felt it so deeply thru the music. It really touched me then and still does. :)

[@生田裕恒]

I think that the harp is the instrument whichi provides the wave of sound after all.

[@TUNEVILLECD]

Michel Legrand's intervals move, inspire and lift! As Belmondo's subtle sublime gifts were to acting L

Is there any way you could send this song to me ? I would love to use it as a figure skating music and can't find this version anywhere ! :(

How do I find the NON harp version? I know I would prefer it to this one. Harp is too soft. You can't listen in a car or out in public with headphones.
