This review is from: The Classic Film Music of Georges Auric, Vol. 3: Lola Montez / Notre-Dame De Paris / Farandole (Audio CD)
Back in 1994, Marco Polo label released a real gem, almost every note of the Georges Auric score to "La Belle et la Bete" (8. 223765) possibly the finest score to any film--ever. In 1998 they followed up with suites of his music for "Orphee," "Ruy Blas" and "Thomas l'imposteur" (8.225066). Wonderful scores but they pale somewhat compared with the first recording. And that is my only negative concerning the 3rd volume in this series, <Lola Montez, Notre-Dame de Paris, Fanandole (Suites) (8.225070), played by the Moscow Symphony Orchestra under Adriano.Actually there are two suites from the film based on the Notre-Dame tale: one for full orchestra and one for two harps, two guitars and cello. This is, by the way, the awful version with Anthony Quinn and Gina Lollobrigida. So as I always have to say about film score recordings, the music stands or falls on its own merits. And if one listens as if one is hearing a series of very short tone poems, then this CD, as does Vol. 2, succeeds very nicely indeed. As always with Marco Polo, the liner notes are quite helpful. But please go for the "Belle et Bete" offering first.
