Écoutez le Cinéma ! THE CINEMA OF MARTIN SCORSESE (4CD) To be released 2 October 2015.
A director, a New Yorker, and today a universal filmmaker, Martin Scorsese will be one of autumn 2015’s stars with the dedicated Scorsese Exhibition at the French Cinémathèque and also the Lumière Prize awarded by the 7th Lumière Festival.
The Universal France Ecoutez le cinéma! collection is proud to be associated with this major double event through the release of an exceptional 4CD box set, the first record-anthology devoted to the director. The Cinema of Martin Scorsese proposes the first chronological listening of the Scorsese soundtracks, from original compositions to rock classics, jazz standards, pop, baroque works and contemporary music. The set takes the form of a vast musical stroll on the scale of a lifetime, beginning with the incandescent score for Taxi Driver. Along the way, it creates some iconoclastic opposites — U2 smiling at Georges Delerue while Ray Charles jostle Bernard Herrmann — and this whole set is enriched and illustrated with pieces never available on record before (Bringing Out The Dead or again, the short-film Made in Milan), an exclusive interview with composer Howard Shore, and a suite for piano entitled The Marty Suite, specially put together and performed by composer Jean-Michel Bernard.
With five hours of music, the present set is an invitation not only to watch Scorsese’s pictures but also to listen to them. “Very often,” confirms Scorsese, “it’s only by listening to the music chosen for the film I’m preparing that I can start to visualize it. Without that, I’d be lost.” The set tells a magnificent Scorsese story in a new way, using the original soundtracks of his life in the movies; it ties in perfectly with the major film event of autumn 2015.

Sorry if there has already been an announcement here on the FSM board, I could not find one despite a thorough search. ___________________________________________________________
Also, if ANYONE wants to take over the Écoutez le Cinéma list I compiled at http://ecoutez.urs-lesse.de/ PLEASE do so. I have largely lost interest in the series and don't really find the energy anymore to keep updating it.
