Lossless Maurice Jarre – Sunshine

My own Lossless CD rip

The film follows a Jewish family living in Hungary through three generations, rising from humble beginnings to positions of wealth and power in the crumbling Austro-Hungarian Empire. The patriarch becomes a prominent judge but is torn when his government sanctions anti-Jewish persecutions. His son converts to Christianity to advance his career as a champion fencer and Olympic hero, but is caught up in the Holocaust. Finally, the grandson, after surviving war, revolution, loss and betrayal, realizes that his ultimate allegiance must be to himself and his heritage.

This wartime family saga deserved the touch of a composer who could suggest period and geography amid an emotional tale. The Frenchman Maurice Jarre has endlessly proven an affinity with all these qualities (Dr Zhivago perhaps crowning most achievements). Through the latter decades of the 20th century, much of his music seemed swamped by electronic intrusion. Here, finally, was a movie that allowed (demanded) a symphonic approach of some size. The result lasts a joyous 36 minutes. Lesser counter-melodies may hearken back to the style of Ghost, but in the main theme lies something ranking among the best of material he wrote predominantly in the 1960s and 1970s, including Lawrence of Arabia, The Man Who Would Be King and The Night of the Generals. Top and tailing the album, you’ll be left with an unforgettable tune for days. –Paul Tonks
