Yes i really liked Crossed swords, The bride and A walk in the clouds[his lesser known ones] which is what i said on another thread, the small ones that didn't go anywhere i like better then his big ones, also like the simple but effective theme from Plaza suite, which i never saw on cd.
James, is this including the Jarre tracks you recorded at the Destroyer sessions? I loved the performances of the Bride and Walk in the Clouds. Sounded like the music was coming right off the cd player!!
You know, I bumped that JESUS OF NAZARETH thread the other night, and now we have four or five more threads about Maurice Jarre, and now this.
If I bump a few Goldsmith ones, will you...
This looks like a terrific release. It doesn't duplicate much of THE ESSENTIAL MAURICE JARRE, the Silva set that really re-introduced me to Jarre after years of benign neglect on my part. I look forward to purchasing this.
I hope people will like NOTRE DAME as it was written in 1965 when Jarre was having a really creative period. Yes, it is a bit modern, but with melody and of course great rhythmic drive ... with a huge orchestra, choir and church organ!
All the Graunke SO CDs in those days were muddily recorded, courtesy of engineer Peter Kramper (AFAIR), including several Elmer scores like "Spies Like Us".
I have enjoyed all of the Tadlow releases todate especially the Jarre releases.
It will be great to hear some of the lesser known titles from the great man.
Cannot wait for both this and Quo Vadis.
Let the countdown commence.
A suggestion for the CD artwork-
I appreciate any decision made by you will be fine however as a suggestion for the CD artwork I have a recommendation.
I have a copy of Miklos Roza- A Centenary Celebration (from Varase) and I think the cover on the CD works very well. Accordingly as Maurice was a good looking chap how about a picture of him writing/thinking about his music, simplicity is always the best.
I may be the first one to say it hear, but i loved the bride-85- one of Maurice's best, I FEEL,that theme at the end credits send me 2 feet off the ground.
