AndrewHOST
Um, Agnes Varda eloquently captures Paris in the '60s with this real-time portrait of a singer set adrift in the city as she awaits test results of a biopsy.
AndrewHOST
A chronicle of the minutes of one woman's life, Cleo from 5 to 7 is a spirited mix of vivid vérité and melodrama, featuring a score by Michel Legrand and cameos by Jean-Luc Godard and Anna Karina.
AndrewHOST
I didn't realize Jean-Luc Godard was in this.
AndrewHOST
Um, this is-
Ashley WheaterGUEST
written by Mollier, and it was the catalyst for what we know in America as Carousel.
Ashley WheaterGUEST
And it's a commissioned score by Michel Legrand, who won many Academy Awards and Grammys.
Ashley WheaterGUEST
And it's an incredible score.
Ashley WheaterGUEST
And so it's a complicated, layered, dense work.
Michael Sean BreedenHOST
People that are fans of Rodgers and Hammerstein, you know, we associate Carousel with this story, of course.
Michael Sean BreedenHOST
And that music is so beautiful that I would be hesitant to think that anyone could rewrite my idea of it.
Michael Sean BreedenHOST
But Michel Legrand, that's I mean, Umbrellas of Cherbourg is my favorite movie of all time.
Michael Sean BreedenHOST
So, yeah.
Julian SchlossbergHOST
Big success.
Steven J. RubinHOST
Also featuring that wonderful Michelle Legrand music, which was so soaring and
Arthur E. FriedmanHOST
romantic.
Steven J. RubinHOST
What a theme.
Fred GrandyHOST
And then I thought, oh, now I know what that song means.
Fred GrandyHOST
Michelle Legrand.
Fred GrandyHOST
Yeah, Michelle Legrand.
Fred GrandyHOST
Michelle Legrand, yeah.
Fred GrandyHOST
Oh,
Murphy CrossGUEST
wait, the only song that he should not have sung, but...
23 MINS LATER
Fred GrandyHOST
And this has been the official Love Boat podcast with Paul Kreppel and Murphy Cross.
Fred GrandyHOST
And that's a wrap, guys.
Melissa ErricoGUEST
My dad's a piano player, but his background is Ravel.
Melissa ErricoGUEST
and Chopin, which is Sondheim's wheelhouse, and Michel Legrand.
Melissa ErricoGUEST
Both of those composers are my North Stars in my life.
Melissa ErricoGUEST
They loved Ravel.
Melissa ErricoSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
They hate each other but meet on Ravel.
Melissa ErricoGUEST
And they meet in me.
Melissa ErricoGUEST
But Legrand is so sexy and swirling and affirmative and just forward in life and positive and cinematic and maybe not that logical as well because I've done a musical with him and it really didn't have much logic.
Melissa ErricoGUEST
Sondheim is all about logic, structure.
Anne SeibelGUEST
But...
Anne SeibelGUEST
The music with Michel Legrand, I love Michel Legrand as a musician.
Anne SeibelGUEST
And I look at that and the designer told me, oh, you know, with your study, you can do that.
Anne SeibelGUEST
And I said, like, I can do what I do with my cousin and my family and be paid with it, you
Sid GribetzHOST
And the very popular music arranger...
Sid GribetzHOST
From France, Michel Legrand was under the spell of Columbia, and they brought him to the States.
Sid GribetzHOST
This was early in his career, in June of 1958.
Sid GribetzHOST
And they put together large ensembles with various horn soloists among the great jazz musicians.

Thank you.
Denise Finnegan-HillHOST
Thank you.
Denise Finnegan-HillHOST
Music from Summer of 42, composed by Michel Legrand, who led a studio orchestra with harp soloist Catherine Michel.
Denise Finnegan-HillHOST
Moving to the Baroque period music of Francesco Gimignani, this is a Concerto Grosso in C minor, performed by Tafel Music Baroque Orchestra under the direction of Jean Lemann. . . . ¶¶
Ashley WeiderSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And of course, the music, which has the Lyric Opera Orchestra and a 16-piece jazz band, is just going to blow people away.
Gary ZidekHOST
In this ballet adaptation with a score created by the late legendary French composer Michel Legrand, a full orchestra and a big band jazz ensemble provide the soundtrack to the movement on stage.
Nathan BrockSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
It's a little unusual, right? Because of the elements that are there.
Nathan BrockSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
You have this big band that's on the stage, which there are not very many pieces in the repertoire where you have an orchestra and a big band on the stage.
Warren WillsHOST
And we did a whole thing to Les Miserables.
Warren WillsHOST
Didn't quite get my story about the fact that when I actually first moved across to London, Hal Shaper, quite a significant lyricist, wrote for Michelle Legrand, South African, a young man that he was, passed away many years ago.
Warren WillsHOST
Used to work at Prestige Records.
Warren WillsHOST
And he certainly gave me a fabulous publishing deal there at Prestige.
