5.0 out of 5 stars Buy the DRG Label Version, April 2, 2001

Folks: if you want VIVRE POUR VIVRE and A MAN AND A WOMAN (UN HOMME ET UNE FEMME), DRG records has them on ONE CD. Don't pay this outrageous price, however nice the score (which it is).

As for the score itself, VIVRE POUR VIVRE continued the format of Lai's prior A MAN AND A WOMAN: Nicole Croiselle humming wordless vocals, Lai plucking electrified organ and piano and clavichord, twangy electric guitars that evoke bandeons for some reason, a couple of tasty songs with lyrics ("Now You Want to be Loved" is great - "is your heart still as pure/as it was in your dream?"), and a variation on the "Today It's You" orchestration on Side 2 of A MAN AND A WOMAN which made that album so stunning in its day called "Theme du Robert" (yes, play LOUD).

There are some retreads here: a vocal version of the 'Today It's You' lyrics from A MAN AND A WOMAN winds up somehow in THIS film a year later, and Louis Alderbert's crooning is suitably misplaced in that 60s way against a wailing studio 'rock' band; and, a rather dispensable thing called "Zoom", which one should just program into oblivion.

Otherwise, classic Lai, and many tasty versions of the lush title song.
