Brendon Kelly - Music from the Movies, UK, No 41

This CD will certainly appeal to listeners who like the classics. The concert runs very much like a classical concert. This is probably where I was a little disappointed. You will hear the enthusiastic audience’s applause at the end of each piece. The recording is also a little muddled where you can hear (if you have your headphones on!) some extra noise from either the audience or from instruments being moved during the performance. However, do not let that distract you. Maurice Jaubert composed this superb music and you can clearly hear the influence this man would have on Mr Delerue (who was a genius) and Maurice Jarre (who has written some of the most famous film music of all time.). And to think Maurice Jaubert did all of this over sixty years ago!
