Description
2 Original Soundtracks : "My Father’s Glory" de Yves Robert (1990) “My Mother’s Castle” de Yves Robert (1990). Inspired by the sweeping panoramic view of the hills of Marcel Pagnol's youth in the south of France, Vladimir Cosma created a 'habanera' based on the rhythmical sound of the grasshopper. The 'Valse' for piano and orchestra of "Le Chateau de ma Mère" gives an impressionistic ambience to a film set in the early years of the last century. Those classical soundtracks performed by the Paris Philarmonic Orchestra are ones of the most acclaimed written by the composer.
