In collaboration with Colette Delerue, Music Box Records proudly presents the remastered CD release of Georges Delerue’s original music from the French TV series Tours du monde, tours du ciel (1991) directed by Robert Pansard-Besson (La Légende des sciences).
Broadcasted in 1991, Tours du monde, tours du ciel is still recognized today as a model of scientific popularization, and was at the time a not-to-be-missed TV program for all amateur astronomers in France: they still vividly remember Georges Delerue’s wonderful music. The score, highlighted by the deep tone of the strings of the Orchestre de Paris, displays its melodic and contemplative lyricism in each of the chosen sequences and conveys a fascinating feeling of infinity.
The album also includes the first string quartet (Premier Quatuor à cordes) composed by Georges Delerue in 1948 and performed by the members of the Traffic Quintet under the supervision of composer Alexandre Desplat and the violonist Dominique Lemonnier. It was recorded at Studio Davout in 2010 for Pascal Cuenot’s documentary dedicated to the composer (Prelight Films).
Remastered by Christophe Hénault from the original master tapes, Tours du monde, tours du ciel features the unreleased main title not included in the previous CD edition. The package includes an 8-page booklet with exclusive liner notes by Florent Groult. The release is limited to 750 units.

Music Box Records proudly presents the remastered CD release of Eric Demarsan’s original music from the French TV series La Légende des Sciences (1996) directed by Robert Pansard-Besson (Tours du monde, tours du ciel).
Six years after the wide public and critical acclaim of Tours du monde, tours du ciel, La Légende des sciences, is a TV mini-series documentary whose various themes are above all meant to make science really interesting and to incite viewers to dream and learn intelligently. The name of Éric Demarsan was suggested to Pansard-Besson by the producer Dominique Vignet, who was a great admirer of Demarsan’s music for Jean-Pierre Melville’s film The Red Circle. The music stretches into long and broad melodic segments that flow majestically over magnificent images, transforming from time to time into a kind of slow waltz, and coloured here and there by charming little impressionist touches.
Remastered by Christophe Hénault, this present edition offers the same content as the album released when the series was broadcasted in the summer of 1997: the enchanting “suite symphonique en forme de couleurs” (“symphonic suite in the shape of colours”) with the original orchestrations written by Éric Demarsan, and the strings-only versions requested by the director. The package features an 8-page illustrated booklet featuring exclusive liner notes by Florent Groult that includes a new interview with the composer about his score. The release is limited to 300 units.

1. Rouge & Or (3:34)
2. Lavis 2 (0:20)
3. Terre de Sienne (4:53)

The album also includes the first string quartet (Premier Quatuor à cordes) composed by Georges Delerue in 1948. His classical piece makes here its world premiere CD release.
Not at all a world premiere as Delerue´s First String Quartet has already been available on this Canadian DCM CD in 2006 where it was played by the Quatuor Claudel-Canimex:

There is no dialog. These short introductions are just the announcements spoken by Georges Delerue himself in order to introduce the name of each planet.

Basically someone speaks the name of the planet in French in the beginning of each track.
