おもいでの夏 = Summer Of ’42 – Michel Legrand – LP – Pre Owned Vinyl (Arrives in 14days)

Michel Legrand’s ‘おもいでの夏 = Summer Of ’42’ is a masterclass in evocative film composition, seamlessly blending orchestral elegance with delicate melodic storytelling. Originally crafted for the acclaimed 1971 film, this album distills a season’s worth of longing, innocence, and memory into a collection of beautifully arranged instrumentals. Legrand’s signature touch—sweeping strings, nuanced piano, and subtle jazz inflections—invites listeners into a world where every note feels imbued with sunlight and the ache of time passing.

Beyond its cinematic origins, the album stands as a testament to Legrand’s genius for capturing universal emotions without uttering a single word. Each piece unfolds with a painterly sense of detail, making it equally at home in attentive listening sessions or as the evocative backdrop to your own summer memories. For collectors of instrumental music, this record is more than a soundtrack—it’s a timeless meditation on youth, love, and remembrance, delivered by one of the most influential composers of the twentieth century. Owning this album means holding a piece of music history that continues to resonate with beauty and grace.
