I hope Mr Jarre gets lots of love from the labels next year.

I hope so! Certainly sees weekly love in my airspace.

Program looks, from what I could decipher, the usual. Lawrence. Witness. Zhivago.
Bah...

Play some Prancer, Almost An Angel, Shadow of the Wolf, The Extraordinary Seaman, Shout at the Devil, El.Condor! Not just title-dropping, honestly wish I had the bread to mount a concert of obscurity for an audience of 10!

Regardless, this thread warmed my heart, keeping the Maestro in view, standard warhorses or not!

I'd happily be among that audience of 10. Jarre's scores for major epics have received deserved fame and praise, but his creativity and genius are equally at work on so many, many lesser (in fact, barely even heard of!) films.

The Collector is a vastly underrated score.

I would love to see a release--or just re-issue-- of Night of the Generals.

I hope the labels do their thing next year regarding Jarre.

Hell, even re-releases would be nice. Really kicking myself for missing out on Mandingo/Plaza Suite.

I've missed out on a few, but now I'm ready.

I wouldn't be that optimistic since his name isn't John Williams or Jerry Goldsmith.

That is true, however, I would like to think the European labels may acknowledge the event.

If the Labels could redo NIGHT OF THE GENERALS, a fully expanded THE BRIDE and perhaps unearth hidden gems like THE MAGICIAN OF LUBLIN.

Night of the Generals is indeed long overdue.

My personal little wish would be complete 'Judex'. Now THAT would make my day!

Good shout on the Bride. I recall James has the original master, not sure whether Varese has the title rights. Either way a possibility for its release, would also love the ones mentioned.

Please don't quote me (and with the sad dissolution of Mr. Fitzpatrick's Tadlow outfit, the point is moot), but THE BRIDE was discussed awhile back and either Varese still had the rights, Fitzpatrick HAD rescued the tapes, yet there wasnt much not included on the Varese release, and he considered at least a digital release. All or none of the above!

I wish that one stayed in print forever. Gorgeous music, beautiful performance by the RPO, spot on recording by Dick Lewzey. Perfect album. Despite director Franc Roddam hating the score...noted in his commentary on the film I will never hear, because...who wants to hear poison dished onto a favorite composer?!?

LUBLIN (LSO performance) is likely in limbo "thanks" to Kate Bush. Too bad the recent renaissance of her music (Running Up That Hill) didn't open the gates for this obscurity to be released.

MGM - possibly feasible - yo Quartet!

As if I know a damn thing (I would love this though, fun score, buried in an idiotic flawed flick).
I think Intrada said something about this....once.

Mr. Jarre wrote some of the highest of high-impact cues in all of movie history, and some television ones too.

I'll bet Quartet has a least a couple of Jarre scores in the pipeline.

Hopefully, LE PALANQUIN DES LARMES !

I'm a bit late to the Jarre party as his music never really "clicked" with me...until last year for some reason.

Now I'm sad to have missed out on Tadlow's fantastic recordings and releases (Notre Dame, Villa Rides, Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, Is Paris Burning) despite having them in my iTunes wishlist for the longest time. I fortunately did pick up Tadlow's Lawrence on CD a while back though.

The Notre Dame ballet is exceptionally strong and tends to not get its due in these threads because it's not a film score. But it is Jarre through and through.

Concert is now available via arte tv

The first 12 minutes are not dedicated to Jarre.

Thank god they did not include the first 30 minutes that included speeches, self-satisfaction from some speakers, awful way of starting a tribute concert to a legend.
