    GUY DE MAUPASSANT

    Original soundtrack composed and conducted by Georges Delerue

    Georges Delerue is making a comeback at Disques Cinémusique with the digital premiere of his music for the movie Guy de Maupassant, directed by Michel Drach in 1982. This release will be a surprise for many fans since no excerpt of the soundtrack Gaumont LP has ever been reissued in its original form on any of the numerous compilations devoted to Delerue. Starring Claude Brasseur, Jean Carmet and Miou-Miou, Guy de Maupassant is based on the life of the famous French writer. The composer recreates the mood of 19th century Paris through a series of musical numbers that carry us from carefree social gatherings to the anguish of a declining career, undermined by disease.

    To complete this 34 minutes recording, we include a reprise of some flute and guitar arrangements of themes composed by Georges Delerue for other French movies, as well as an extended orchestral version of Fanny's Theme from Guy de Maupassant. These five tracks where originally featured on two previous DCM releases. 12-page booklet.

    Can anyone remember the name of a Delerue score where the cover shows a 'woman?' about to beat someone on the head with a 'statue of the Eiffel Tower?'

    Sorry about the vagueness, it's a French film and I used to have the LP ( in the very early 80's ) and want to find out if it ever had a CD release?

  5. It looks like you mean the score from Vivement Dimanche! (or Confidentially Yours) and other than some Japanese releases on CD the main releases seem to be on LP.

    New release from Music Box Records
    DESCENTE AUX ENFERS
    ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK
    COMPOSED BY GEORGES DELERUE


    In 1986, despite his good fortune in Hollywood, Georges Delerue would never turn his back to French cinema. Two years after LE BON PLAISIR, he responded to the film director Francis Girod's call for DESCENTE AUX ENFERS (DESCENT INTO HELL) , a psychological thriller set under the sun and heat of the Caribbean and dealing with a married couple at the breaking point - an alcoholic husband (Claude Brasseur) and his 20 years younger wife (Sophie Marceau) - who will unexpectedly manage to get reunited through tragedies and secrets, despite the guilt and sorrow involved.

    With Girod's support, Georges Delerue didn't choose so much to illustrate the action of the story than to emphasize the moods of the characters with - most obviously of all - the spellbiding main theme which constrasts with the setting of Haiti soon after the insurrection. Georges Delerue then took many unusual paths, so brillantly diversifying his cinematic interventions both in tone and nature, never reluctant to give them the discreet - yet subtly significant - form of source music. A seductive piano, a bitter sweet flute and tragic strings succesively sound on the verge to succumb to passion. As the listening of the score progresses, a highly coordinated dramatic support unveils itself through a fully assumed heterogeneous tonality.

    MUSIC BOX RECORDS is proud to announce for the first time available on CD the exquisite selection from the original soundtrack LP DESCENTE AUX ENFERS, displaying nearly 37 minutes of the score for which Georges Delerue's fans have been longing for so many years.

    And to top it all, a totally new 9 minutes bonus material found among Delerue's personal archives was also added. Despite the moderate sound imperfections due to the nature of the original source, those six new tracks extend the pleasure of rediscovering this major contribution to French cinema by Georges Delerue.

    « I'm fully aware he composed for me one of the most beautiful film score of its time » later admitted Francis Girod. Precisely 25 years after the movie was released in theaters, this particular CD is now the ideal chance for any music lover to judge for himself.

    Florent Groult wrote the booklet for this brand new album. As a devoted fan of film music and a collaborator of specialised magazines such as Cinéscores and Colonne Sonore from 1995 to the early 2000s, he co-founded and initiated the website www.underscores.fr for which he invests himself as a vice chief editor. In 2011, he also contributed to the collective effort John Williams - Un alchimiste musical à Hollywood L’Harmattan Editions) gathering essays and unpublished interviews entirely devoted to this composer.

    I think so, but I'm not totally sure. "In the tracks of..." is a documentary series focussing on different composers, which sadly ended (as far as I know) before it got to cover all they had intended.

    I THINK I saw their Delerue one, although I may be confusing it with another Delerue doc or something else altogether.
    I am extremely serious.

    November looks like a pretty exciting time for Delerue fans. Rumored to be released November 1 from Intrada is Delerue's beautiful score for RAPTURE, a 1965 cult film....then in the middle of the month Universal France will issue on one CD selected tracks from REGARDING HENRY from the Paramount master tapes and SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES from Delerue's own personal 1/4" tape.

  7. I'd pass on the RH/SWTWC duo.

    Roger said a couple days ago at the Intrada forum:
    "As I learned on the X-Files, trust no one. Interesting factoid: the rejected score was recorded in the same format as the Horner score: 3M 32-track digital."
    (LINK)


    And if goes without saying "Regarding Henry" will get released by some label eventually, and with better tapes, too.

  8. Finally. Zimmer wanted a release of Delerue's score along with his own and blamed firing Delerue on a clueless director.

  9. I am talking about Regarding Henry. Zimmer replaced Delerue and later asked for a release of both his and the rejected score. He was obviously refused it.

    As much as I like Delerue's music, I don't think what he wrote suited the film. It's a little too overly-sentimental....beautiful in its own way, just not suitable for Harrison's character...
  10. New Intrada release:

    RAPTURE

    Label: Intrada Special Collection Volume 188
    Date: 1965
    Tracks: 20

Intense tale melds romance, thrills, supernatural overtones that inspire Delerue to write score balancing gorgeous main theme, aggressive drama, brittle action. Delerue makes famous name for himself by composing some of screen's most haunting, beautiful melodies, often in triple meter with gentle waltz feel. RAPTURE provides opportunity for composer to stretch, create melodramatic music in less characteristic mode. Results are dramatic score of unusual scope, range. Intrada presentation courtesy 20th Century Fox plus kind assistance of Delerue estate that retains composer's own original mono 1/4" tapes of score in personal archive. Supervising producer Nick Redman, liner note writer Julie Kirgo also locate Fox paperwork with session slates, Delerue's actual cue titles, allowing authentic reconstruction of one of his earliest surviving full scores to date.

    Hmm. To buy or not to buy? I absolutely adore Delerue - but do find that I'm just as well off by just having the theme on a compilation album as I am buying the whole score. (Mind you, I'm not sure I do have this one's theme anywhere.)
