4.0 out of 5 stars Double album is best, March 22, 2000

The real find is the double album released to coincide with the film's re-release. Amazon has it classified under "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg" without a link to Legrand so it's hard to find. This remastered album has some very special additions such as Legrand and friends improvising on some of the principal themes - great fun! Also participation from Tony Bennett.

Another version to look out for - sadly not available on CD is the LP which has Legrand's orchestral suite on music from the film. This one is up there with Gershwin's "An American in Paris" suite. This LP also has a dazzling suite for two pianos and orchestra on Legrand's music for "The Go Between" (Julie Christie stars).

5.0 out of 5 stars Catherine or Danielle?, November 17, 2002

Beautiful film. But for the folks who thought Catherine Deneuve sang in the film: it was the heavenly voice of Danielle Licari, the popular French singer of the time. It's hard to find any recording by Danielle for sale now.

5.0 out of 5 stars One Among the BEST of the BEST., June 20, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Les Parapluies De Cherbourg: Highlights (1964 Film) (Audio CD)

Having listen to more than hundreds soundtracks, thousands of songs. One of my most beloved pieces was "I will wait for you". It captured my heart since the first I heard it when I was a little boy at the age of 13. I have this song in more than 20 version. However, the best was the original one. You don't have to be able to understand French to listen to this, because I don't either. The melody itself, was great enough to make me cry when I hear it. Some said that "I will wait for you" was the theme that "brought tears to the eyes of the entire French nation", and I do agree with that.
