Jarre could be on the list too, but I would rather put him in a list of US/English movie composers.    Posted:   Dec 15, 2013 - 6:04 PM     By:   Advise & Consent   (Member) François de Roubaix Francis Lai Serge Gainsbourg George Garvarentz Michel Magne Pierre Jansen Georges Delerue Philippe Sarde Éric Demarsan Claude Bolling Obviously it would help that more complete soundtracks were released... Great list! And its high time for a release of Daughters of Darkness (Les lêvres rouges).    Posted:   Dec 15, 2013 - 11:57 PM     By:   Ray Worley   (Member) My list is probably all the obvious choices, more or less in order of preference: 1. Maurice Jarre 2. Georges Delerue 3. Alexandre Desplat 4. Phillipe Sarde 5. Michel Legrand 6. Maurice Jaubert 7. Paul Misraki 8. Francois de Roubaix 9. Georges Auric 10.

I must admit I've never heard any of Rombi's work. Where should one start?    Posted:   Dec 16, 2013 - 2:08 AM     By:   governor   (Member) Aside from the already listed obvious choices, I would have to add Philippe Rombi.

Angel (5:30 to 6:15 in this video from Ubeda in 2009)    Posted:   Dec 16, 2013 - 4:22 AM     By:   calbuth7   (Member) I would add Serge Franklin to the list.    Posted:   Dec 16, 2013 - 4:37 AM     By:   Thor   (Member) Film music or in general (also encompassing classical, electronic etc.)?    Posted:   Dec 16, 2013 - 5:14 AM     By:   Stephen Woolston   (Member) I'm not going to pretend I know enough of the works of all the rival composers in this category. All I'll say is Delerue is my favourite of the ones I know and, yes, Rombi is worthy name. His Swimming Pool score won me over big style. I play it much and often. Cheers    Posted:   Dec 16, 2013 - 5:32 AM     By:   Tall Guy   (Member) Alphabetically: Cosma Delerue Desplat Franklin Garvarentz Jarre Lai Legrand Lliboutry Yared To be fair, some of them are there to make up the numbers. For a top five, I'd say Michel Legrand Alexandre Desplat Gabriel Yared Olivier Lliboutry Maurice Jarre    Posted:   Dec 16, 2013 - 5:39 AM     By:   Rollin Hand   (Member) VINTAGE FRENCH COMPOSERS TOP THREE Michel Colombier Maurice Jarre Michel Legrand    Posted:   Dec 16, 2013 - 9:05 AM     By:   slint   (Member) Maurice Jaubert Joseph Kosma Georges Auric and Georges van Parys Jean Wiener Jean Marion I would like to know more about them but there are hardly any available french "Golden Age" soundtracks. Paul Misraki is the only one for which I can characterize the style and I like him very much as well. Michel Legrand is perhaps the one I am the most uneasy with in the major (film) composers.    Posted:   Dec 16, 2013 - 9:40 AM     By:   morrifan   (Member) Michel Legrand (in a class of his own) Georges Auric Michel Colombier Vladimir Cosma Eric Demarsan Francis Lai Michel Magne Michel Portal Philippe Sarde Jean Wiener    Posted:   Dec 16, 2013 - 11:01 AM     By:   Essankay   (Member) Angel Thanks, governor!    Posted:   Dec 16, 2013 - 3:54 PM     By:   Loren   (Member) IMO the top is Edgar Varese. Talking about film music I love Jarre, Jaubert & Petit.    Posted:   Dec 16, 2013 - 4:20 PM     By:   ToneRow   (Member) 1. Charles Koechlin 2. Andre Jolivet 3. Andre Caplet 4. Jean Prodromides 5. Pierre Jansen 6. Edgard Varese 7. Henri Dutilleux 8. Olivier Messiaen 9. Florent Schmitt 10. Antoine Duhamel (where's Anabel Boyer? She likes Dutilleux, too!)     General Discussion: Top ten French composers    < 1 2 3  > >>  Go to page:  1 2 3 4 5   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1 2 3 4 5
