JJH Oscar® Winner	have a chance to get a few CD and/ or LPs of music by Philip Sarde I've heard good things about his music, and wondered what might be good to start off with. signed, Jar Jar Hincks NP -- Being John Malkovich <-- THAT's why I like Burwell so much

Andre Lux unregistered	Hei, Jar-Jar old pal! Philippe Sarde's a great composer, but unfortunately I have just two of his scores. One's "Quest for Fire" and it's among my favorites. This score is realy outstanding with a primeval feeling, courtesy of the "Les Percussions de Strasbourg" & "The Ambrosian Singers" and some very feroucious cues. Very original and different from anything you've heard... The other I have is "The Bear" which consists of two suites with about 20 minutes each. Beautiful, powerfull and sweeping. What else could someone expect from a movie score?? Hugs, A.

SPOR2 Oscar® Winner	Very highly recommend: The Music Box La Fille de d'Artagnan Ghost Story Lord of the Flies Pirates Fort Saganne as well as those Mr. Lux mentioned. ...though whether you can actually find copy of some of these is another question.

Marian Schedenig Oscar® Winner	I only know his "Pirates", but that one surely rocks. One of the best "mysterious" themes ever! NP: Casper (Horner, **/***)

Hard Target Oscar® Winner	Philippe Sarde is a very underappreaciated composer and one of my favorites. I'd recomend these scores if you can get em. Ennimes Intimes (Intimate Enemies) Max and Jeremie Eve of Destruction The Manhattan Project (definetly one of his best and sadly unreleased on CD by Varese) Tess (also sadly unreleased on CD) Ghost Story Quest for Fire Pirates The Bear P.O. Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey (David Newman) */**

Lou Goldberg Oscar® Winner	You didn't say which CDs/LPs you had a chance to get but it really doesn't matter since I've never heard a Sarde score I disliked except for LA VALISE. The real gems are: Tess (of course) Premiers Desires Le Train Choice of Arms La Pirate Vincent, Francois, Paul et les Autres Le Choc Deux Hommes Dans La Ville C'est La Vie/La Baule-les-Pins Mille Millard de Dollars Les Choses de la Vie

JoeInSanDiego Oscar® Winner	Ghost Story is simply remarkable in terms of it's atmosphere and ambience....GET IT...it is a Varese album... Lord of the Flies is an excellent score as well...and while I haven't heard Pirates! firsthand, I've been told from several sources that it is the one and only good thing about the film! NP - The Usual Suspects (Ottman) ***/***

Marian Schedenig Oscar® Winner	Don't understand why everybody hates "Pirates". It's so fun! Except for the ending of course, which is rather a let-down. NP: Star Trek TMP (Jerry Who, ***/***)

THE GREEK Oscar® Winner	Philipe Sarde is one of my favourite composers.His ability to create a fresh sound to every movie he composes for makes him one of the most gifted composers in the history of film music.I'd recomend the following scores: DEUX HOMMES DANS LA VILLE/LE SEINS DE GLACE A great but very rare LP with the music for two French "noirs" with Delon.Melodic outfit and great(and unique) orchestrations for these two great films.The LP was released by the Italian PHOENIX label in 1000 copies. TESS Wonderfull romantic score. LES CHOSES DE LA VIE You can easily find the CAM cd.It is a great melodic score.It was also released in Japan.Just forget the French or Italian LP. VINCENT, FRANCOIS, PAUL ET LES AUTRES. Paired with LE SEINS DE GLACE in the CAM label.The French LP is very rare. LE CHOC One of his great scores!!!Only on LP(General Music) LE TRAIN Great!
