Ok. Duque...
Obrigado por compartilhar
(N�o � necess�rio me enviar Link, Eu tenho o CD)

Note:
What Alex North achieved in his score was nothing less than a masterwork and, arguably, the greatest of all musical interpretations of the great novel. In spite of this, Les Mis�rables is not a score as famous as many of the other entries in North’s filmography. The fact that, until recently, the film itself was all but unavailable, together with the lack of any soundtrack release, answer for this entirely. But this history is about be rewritten. Twentieth Century Fox has just recently released a DVD containing sterling restorations of both their 1935 and 1952 productions. And this CD, released 55 years after it was composed, presents the first-ever availability of Alex North’s original score. It will be, for many … for most even, a revelation. A score believed near lost, and rarely discussed, now emerges as yet another masterpiece in the career of one of film music’s demigods.

Hooray (as always) for what North did in particular. Yes, it's one of this best scores. But its source is like all but one (really two) adaptations of Hugo's superb novel. Why? In their way they're the book -- one utterly literally (the French version for the 30's -- watching it you will not just have read the book, you will experience everything in it the way we do so often when we're reading Hugo), one innovatively (the French version from the 90's -- a very original re-imagining of it from the writer/director's strong, strong perspective of life in France up to and during the WWII and lives as Jews there and anywhere0.

This version... well, it's okay, I suppose. The lead means well but much isn't realized. His enemy is better.

And North? He is our Victor Hugo -- here, yes... but in so much other work his vision is actually as great as Hugo's and often just as original.

Okay, I'm blathering.

If I'm eligible for a PM, would you mind sending that?

Even if not, I'm just happy to be here.
