on parle toujours d ' une musique de Film pour accompagner un Film ... Ici on a un film pour accompagner une Musique ! Bravo à ce grand orchestre qui a su nous faire revivre cet immense Chef d ' Œuvre !
Yes it is I have the cd to Is Paris Burning and I have the movie, I know from history and WW@ that the movie is based on a true story but I wonder how much the movie embellish, I have been trying to find on Amazon the true story to the French Resistance fighters who fought to liberate Paris out of the hands of the Nazis but no such luck so far
I love the bit in this film when they put up the Tricolour for the first time in 4 years (banned by the Nazis) on top of the Prefecture. Very enjoyable film all round. The book on which it is based is also a good read. Thanks Tadlowmusic!
Impresionante e inolvidable obra que es un monumento al Arte de la Música. No me canso de escucharla una y otra vez, pues me traslada a otra dimensión...
Trop beau.Air galvanisant et puissant, comme le peuple, qui se soulève et dresse des barricades.Je ne me lasse pas de l'écouter.D'ailleurs le Film au titre éponyme est magnifique.
Very well done. At last a new recording(digital) of this music that I have been hoping for is accomplished. Thanks to this orchestra and youtube. I owned a vinyl of the sound track and eventually a cd when it came out. If only digital recording was available then(in 1966) that soundtrack would have been tremendous with all the drums, cymbals, trumpets and in addition as I recall, Mr.Jarre was using 12 grand pianos in his orchestra to record this soundtrack. It would be so wonderful to hear all these instruments without any distortions !!! What a joy ?
Great piece of music by a great composer--some of the other renditions available here are kind of shopworn....this Prague orchestra lead by Nic Raine did this thing to perfection......thank you.
As I recall, given that this occurred some 48-years ago, from a conversation with Richard Rodney Bennett, during which time he was visiting Denver, where I was employed at the time for TWA. RRB informed me that his agent asked him if you would perform as one of the ten pianists in the soundtrack. Bennett declined.
Éste fondo musical inolvidable acompañó a la entrada de las Tropas Aliadas en París, en agosto de 1944, para liberar, junto a los partisanos, a la capital francesa del dominio alemán. Por eso se le llama el Vals de la Liberación...!!
Nic Raine is a competent conductor, but sometimes it seems that his concern is with the quality of his re-recording (thus inducing some changes) and not with his fidelity to the original recording. This is what happened with "El Cid": small changes were made enough to decarterize the Miklós Rózsa style to show Nic Raine.
Why do you call this a 'song'? I think iTunes terminology [which incorrectly refers to all music genre as a 'song'] has ruined your concept of what form of music this is. To correct you, it is an 'instrumental' orchestral work.
@@jslasher1, this “instrumental orchestral work” has a name. It is called “Overture / Paris Waltz”. Therefore it is not only a tune / theme, but it is also a dance - a waltz. When listening to it, my mind’s eye can see the tempo, and imagine a ballroom full of dancers, waltzing to this music. Don’t be so hard on @Jeffrey Kozinski; I’m not musically trained either. So even if he didn’t get the music jargon correct, he and I can appreciate the genius of Maurice Jarre in producing a lovely piece of music for Is Paris Burning, as well as his other great works in Lawrence of Arabia, Doctor Zhivago, Ben Hur, and more.
