If \u003ci\u003eLe Choc \u003c\/i\u003e(The Shock) offers a rather watered down vision of the original novel, the composer chooses to give a boost. Sarde explains : “My position was this : to inject singularity into this somewhat smooth story. I get some really good soloists together for an unconventional score balanced between rock, jazz fusion and romanticism. I wanted it to be energetic with a modern drive. To me, \"Le Choc\" is a direct extension of the great blends in \"César et Rosalie\" or \"Coup de Torchon (Clean Slate)\". A jazz-rock rhythm section, musicians from Weather Report with the London Symphony Orchestra, and the great Wayne Shorter. I asked him if he could play his soprano with a timbre like a bombard, an unexpected transposing of a folk instrument onto a jazz horn...\" To director Robin Davis, this magnificent score will be a real lifeline : \"With his music, Philippe told a story alongside mine, he brought \"Le Choc\" back to what it might have and should have been. And I love the invisible link with Lautner. After Stan Getz and \"Mort d'un Pourri\", we’re still with Delon \u0026amp; Sarde but this time the saxophonist is a black American, Wayne Shorter.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePressed for the first time from a high definition transfer of the recording tapes, this new album has been mastered without any compression, respecting all the dynamics of the recording produced at Abbey Road. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Orbis","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50504786903371,"sku":"2001811","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/PHILIPPE_SARDE_-_LE_CHOC_-_RGOR4_-_PACKSHOT_633c5c82_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727810416"},{"product_id":"loulou","title":"Loulou","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 1968, the future composer of \u003ci\u003eThe Things of Life\u003c\/i\u003e (Les Choses de la Vie) seriously considered becoming a director. He wrote and shot\u003ci\u003e Florence\u003c\/i\u003e, a short film influenced by the New Wave and composed its soundtrack, under the benevolent eye of Vladimir Cosma. The first spectators of the film are unanimous: failing to have seen a visionary cinematographic opus, they have discovered a real movie musician. From this first attempt, Philippe Sarde imposes his melodic talent on the picture and initiates his sense of counterpoint. This founding soundtrack, however, remained in the boxes for more than 50 years, before finding a place of choice on the B side of our album. To open the ball, we offer you another forgotten score: the almost unused score of\u003ci\u003e Loulou\u003c\/i\u003e, Maurice Pialatís cult classic. In 1980, the naturalist director planned to use original music to accompany the wanderings of his sublime love duo, played by Gerard Depardieu and Isabelle Huppert. He commissioned a bare, impressionistic score from Philippe Sarde, then changed his mind and kept only a timid end credits. The meeting between the two giants of French cinema did however take place, as evidenced by the first side of this beautiful lp. This album was produced from a high definition transfer of analog tapes, without compression or alteration, and respecting the dynamics of the original recordings. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Orbis","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50508529500491,"sku":"1170806","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/bc7225d3-8869-4b95-8998-05e102d37f86_thumbnail_4096.png?v=1727859620"},{"product_id":"mort-dun-pourri","title":"Mort dun Pourri","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 1976, when Georges Lautner and Philippe Sarde imagined the instrumental colors of Death of a Swine (Mort d'un Pourri), they immediately agreed to give priority to the smooth timbre of the saxophone. Lautner: \"It wouldn't be bad if we had a Stan Getz-like soloist...\" Sarde: \"Stan Getz-like?! But my dear Georges, we'll have Stan Getz!\" Faithful to his legendary requirement, the composer not only invited the jazz star to Paris, but already reserved the talents of Billy Hart (drummer for Miles Davis) and the 100 musicians of the London Symphony Orchestra.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA few months later, Getz arrives at Sarde's home and deciphers the main theme in front of a fascinated director. \"I immediately understood that I had the opening shot of Death of a Swine there, says Georges Lautner.
