MBR-034. SEALED. OUT OF PRINT.
Television introduced itself into the filmography of Georges Delerue
starting in the 1950s. He composed for the pioneers of the media form,
including Stellio Lorenzi, Marcel Bluwal and Claude Barma. Throughout
his career, he was to make his mark with a characteristic sound in works
of a diverse range, from Jacquou Le Croquant to Les Rois Maudits and
including Thibaud Ou Les Croisades and La Cloche Tibétaine. Among the
more than 150 films and series set to music by Delerue for the small
screen, productions by Michel Wyn represent a not insignificant share.
This present edition pairs for the fist time two unreleased scores
composed by Georges Delerue for the significant works of French director
Michel Wyn: Gaston Leroux's adaptation of L’Homme qui revient de loin /
The Man Who Came Back from the Death (1972) and the sci-fi TV series
Les Visiteurs / The Visitors (1980), both adapted by the famous
screenwriter Claude Desailly (Les Brigades du Tigre and Michel
Strogoff).
L’Homme qui revient de loin tells the story of a rich industrialist and
arrogant owner of a French château who disappears suddenly, leaving the
direction of his company to his younger brother, Jacques with his
ambitious wife Fanny. But soon, the ghost of the missing brother arrives
to disrupt the couple’s dream life.
Les Visiteurs is about the disappearance of a team of six
extraterrestrials coming to study Earth. The Empire of the Four Planets
dispatch two police detectives to find them. They slip into two human
bodies just as they are about to die, those of a Frenchman Jean-Louis
and a German woman Renate, and resuscitate them so as to pursue their
mission.
Georges Delerue's gift for melody and enormous versatility are once
again demonstrated with these stunningly beautiful scores for orchestra
featuring his beloved strings, solo flute, piano, harp and Austrian
zither, an instrument of his predilection. Adventure, action, mystery,
exoticism, romantic drama and flavorful source music for both scores!
Music Box Records explores this time the television scope of Georges
Delerue's music and presents complete scores in stereo from original
stereo session masters stored in Warner Chappell vaults. Conceived and
written like music for cinema, these two marvellous scores show again
the talented skills of the French composer for the screen.
This present edition is the first volume of coming CD releases dedicated
to the television soundtracks composed by Georges Delerue.
