Zusammenfassung:
A towering figure in music & film, Michel Legrand created some of the most creative film scores of the second half of the 20th century. The music of his most most successful collaborations is particularly memorable. As these scores & the stories behind their creation are, they represent one part of Legrand's genius. Over a career that spanned seven decades, Legrand composed the scores for 160 films, winning Oscars & Grammys along the way. Many of his songs have become standards covered by artists as diverse as Tony Bennett, Sarah Vaughan, Rufus Wainwright, & Sting. A prolific & highly versatile composer, Legrand worked with virtually every legendary figure in popular music & film. Just prior to his death at the age of 87, Legrand sat down with his longtime collaborator Stéphane Lerouge to recount, all the while intermingling present & past, many of the significant & memorable episodes from his life.
