Sweet and Sublime, June 13, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Music from the Films of Francois Truffaut (Audio CD)
"La valse de Francois T" makes my heart want to burst. Never has sweet melancholia been so sweetly and lyrically expressed. This entire album is a godsend, but "La valse" - it is something else, far beyond my power to convey.

The aural equivalent of Truffaut's films: humane, touching., October 2, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Music from the Films of Francois Truffaut (Audio CD)
Hitchcock had Bernard Herrmann, and Spielberg has John Williams, and Francois Truffaut had Georges Delerue. "Jules and Jim" jauntily evokes the delicious problems of one woman in love with two men. With "Shoot the Piano Player" you can almost see Charles Aznavour in his seedy Paris cafe. And most gloriously, for Truffaut's Oscar winner as Best Foreign Film, "Day for Night," Delerue composes a chorale that celebrates the endlessly repetitious, endlessly varied rituals of filmmaking. A wonderful collection of themes from nine films (plus "La valse de Francois T."), performed by the London Sinfonietta under the direction of Hugh Wolff.

Helps you remember these great and atmospheric movies. Only Nino Rota writes better movie music.
