Music reviews of Michel Legrand by Michel Legrand
Music Review: Discovering Michel Legrand Piano Solo
Rating: 5 Stars
Many people know Legrand's compositions.
What many do not know is that Legrand is a very talented jazz pianist.
This disc is/will be a classic, without any doubt.
Very interesting inspired jazz interpretations.
If you like Oscar Peterson, Bill Evans or George Shearing you need to buy
this CD.
Buy it, or .....
.... you certainly will regret later.
Description of Michel Legrand by Michel Legrand
If the American pop culture profile of French composer-jazz pianist Michel Legrand doesn't seem what it once was, don't be misled: his European indie film scores continue six decades on, now numbering nearly 200. But Legrand's most beloved work remains the lovely, evocative themes he created in the '60s and '70s, including "I Will Wait for You" from The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, The Thomas Crown Affair's "Windmills of Your Mind," the theme from Summer of '42, and his work on Barbra Streisand's Yentl. This collection marks Legrand's first solo piano recordings, presenting those and other film score highlights in spontaneously improvised performances that offer a glimpse of Legrand's musical soul. If, as in "Windmills," his enthusiasm gets the best of him and he occasionally lapses into flights of melodramatic pianistic self-parody, there are more than enough sublime moments here to compensate, especially on lesser-known songs like Best Friends' "How Do You Keep the Music Playing?," "What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life?" from The Happy Ending, and Brian's Song's "Hands of Time." --Jerry McCulleyGeneral CDs
