My top ten list 1. Maurice Jarre 2. François de Roubaix 3. Georges Auric 4. Philippe Sarde 5. Jacques Loussier 6. Jean Prodomides 7. Michel Legrand 8. Michel Colombier 9. Claude Bolling 10. Georges Garvarentz (a tie with Eric DeMarsan). In retrospect, I should have a made it a top 20 list. In fact, I could have just as easily tied several of these composers into a top five. Such is the excellence on display here

Great topic mon ami. Having received An Almost Perfect Affair for Christmas, I must include Georges Delerue of course. There are so many of his scores that won me over prior to this. I must also include Michel Legrand for Summer of 42, Brian's Song, Lady Sings the Blues, Francis Lai for Love Story (hated the movie but loved the score) A Man and a Woman and another wonderful film - Live for Life (I was a huge Candice Bergen fan which is the only reason I sat through Oliver's Story. Finally, Philippe Sarde for Tess, Lord of the Flies and Lovesick. All great choices, in particular Tess, Summer of 42 and A Man and a Woman. If you enjoy Sarde, you might want to try the delightful Flic ou Voyou available on a Universal France compilation. Ghost Story, although rare and expensive, is probably the most gorgeous 'horror' score you are ever likely to hear and is well worth the investment (unless Music Box sees to it - pretty please Music Box).

TO-EDWZOOMOM-I just knew you would love An almost perfect affair, and if there are more Delerue scores you have not heard I have a feeling you will only increase your liking of his music if you gave them a shot.

I'm going to add the elephant in the room... Eric Serra Big Blue and Leon are great scores. Thanks for adding him and two great examples of his work.

Perhaps A&C might appreciate them more than I and offer some input on them? Presently giving the CD a spin. Back to comment later.
