Arranged by Robert Lafond

A new recording of Georges Delerue music never available before on disc, skillfully arranged by Robert Lafond using digital sampling of acoustic instruments.

While the cues on this album may stray from the original Delerue orchestrations, they do preserve and showcase the glorious themes, which undoubtedly would have remained lost. Although the album is based upon digital sampling techniques there are few cues where this is overtly apparent and then, it is not really detrimental to the wonderful listening pleasure that this album supplies. This album must have been a monumental effort to produce, but was conspicuously worth it and it is to be hoped there will be at least a second volume. For those that love Georges Delerue or those that enjoy their scores with a classical flavour, this album is a must.
