1.0 out of 5 stars Not original recordings!, April 11, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Very Best of Francis Lai - A Man & A Woman (Audio CD)

I would like to warn anyone considering the purchase of this CD that it contains no original soundtrack recordings and is largely made up of sythesised re-recordings of unbearable banality. Lai is a glorious composer certainly in the top three french movie composers but this CD is not representative of his genius and is best avoided. Go for the original recording and save yourself the disappointment.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy this CD, November 14, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Very Best of Francis Lai - A Man & A Woman (Audio CD)

I rushed in and bought this CD because I thought it contained the sound-track music and songs. Well, it did say Francis Lai. Instead I got the very worst elevator music. Its indescribably bad. Don't be fooled. Find the real one and pay more.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not the Original Soundtrack of the Movie, January 7, 2006

This is marketed to appear as if it is the original soundtrack of the movie "A Man and a Woman", but actually it is a re-recording of some of the movie's music, in English rather than the original French, with some extra music thrown in. The original soundtrack, with the wonderful, romantic music that helped this movie win the Academy Award for Best Foreign Film, is available under the title "Un Homme et une Femme". Don't be fooled.
