5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!, June 5, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Great Composers Series (Audio CD)

A great composer who left a legacy of great music. I would highly recommend this 2-CD set. You can purchase the "Joe Versus the Volcano" CD at intrada.com. There are only 3,000 of these CDs in print so buy it quickly.

This review is from: Great Composers Series (Audio CD)

Truly a great composer, Georges Delerue is responsible for some of the most beautiful music ever written. This volume of his works verges on the incalculable widely expansive, while at the same time representative of a mere fraction of this legendary composer's output.

Delerue was born in Roubaix, France in 1925, rose to prominence in the film world during the '60s - received an Academy Award nomination in 1985 for his resplendent score for "AGNES OF GOD", simply a superb introspective and revealing film score.

The body of work left after the passing of an artist is their gift to the world - Delerue's gift was of happiness and joy. A big thank you to - Robert Townson (producer), Richard Kraft(producer), Frank Fitzpatrick (producer), Erick Labson (mastering engineer)...none of this would possible except for one generous man and who will be missed - GEORGES DELERUE!

Total Time: Disc One 77:12 on 13 Tracks & Disc Two on 11 Tracks...Varese Sarabande 302 066 223 2...(2001)

4.0 out of 5 stars Black Robe, August 17, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Great Composers Series (Audio CD)

I bought this CD solely for the piece from the film Black Robe which is hauntingly beautiful music. For some reason it reminds me of Ennio Morricone's music from The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly, although it is slower. Delerue composed music to a number of great movies.
