Autumn 2013 marks Legrand's great return to the music scene: two concerts with Natalie Dessay at The Olympia in Paris (October 28th and 29th) followed by a tour through France and Europe, and also his first memoirs, Rien n'est grave dans les aigus, to be published by the Cherche-Midi Editeur. To tie in with these events, Universal Classics & Jazz France has undertaken the most ambitious, abundantly prolific and extravagant record-project ever devoted to Michel Legrand: a 15CD boxed-set which brings together every face and aspect of every domain on the Legrand continent; in other words, songs, jazz, original film-soundtracks, symphonic works, musicals…
Some of these CDs operate on the principle of pairing two original vinyl albums — c.f. the historic Legrand Jazz album together with his tribute to Richard Rodgers — while other discs are anthological and correspond to precise themes: international artists who have performed his work; arrangements and original songs; music for animated films… Here and there you can also find surprising guest-appearances, all by artists associated with the great Legrand: Sarah Vaughan, Stan Getz, Louis Armstrong, Yves Montand, Michael Jackson, Barbra Streisand, Jessye Norman… and also Alain Delon, singing his previously-unreleased French version of Windmills of your Mind. The classical side of Michel Legrand is also featured in this set through compositions carried by such wonderful soloists as Jean-Pierre Rampal, Maurice Andr� or the divine harpist Catherine Michel, here on an original album — especially recorded for this set — of jazz standards re-orchestrated "classically" by Michel Legrand for a harp and symphony orchestra. The music here, steering a course between swing, lyricism and musical comedy, is an invitation on a journey through the universe of a musical giant, a creator who continues to vaporize frontiers in his love for music in the plural.
