Music reviews of The Best of Michel Legrand

Music Review: "Best Of"? Not Really........
Rating: 3 Stars

The title is a misnomer if you're after Michel Legrand's most-celebrated music as (mainly film) composer; the vast bulk of this two-CD collection is devoted to three mid-fifties albums rather than his much-more famous music from the sixties and seventies. Only two of his hits, "The Windmills Of Your Mind" and "Summer Of '42" are included, along with three other stereo recordings from the early 70's. The rest is not only in mono but the transfers are clearly from vinyl sources, with obvious "swish" and "crackle". And the music is not Legrand's, being his (admittedly refreshing) arrangements of French, Viennese, and Italian popular song standards. There is nothing from his greatest score "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg" and overall this offers a very skewed portrait of this wonderful composer. Only buy if you like romantic easy-listening of the Mantovani/Percy Faith school and don't mind mono.
