Le Mythomane / L'éducation Sentimentale

Georges Delerue

 
" Two more obscure Delerue drama's "

Written by Thomas Glorieux - Review of the limited release

With Le Mythomane and L'éducation Sentimentale Music Box Records unleashes yet another batch of unknown Delerue's. From the 70's and 80's, these two scores are lightweights compared to the rest. They are amusing to a degree, but above all very accessible background affairs. More, they are mood setters, music that you'll occasionally hear on a fare when an accordion tries to set down the mood and the fun of a Sunday afternoon. It's very gentle and it doesn't immediately follow a pattern of a movie or a scene. Therefore somehow with only 750 copies, Music Box Records assumed there wouldn't be so much demand for these 2 obscure Delerue's. And they were right.

L'éducation Sentimentale has again its fair share of waltzes, "Le Bal Masqué" is the most pleasing one.
Though the music's fine, L'éducation Sentimentale doesn't linger behind after it's finished.
Though the music's fine, it is very much a background affair, considering no real thematic highlights or themes are on board
