Philippe Sarde is a renowned French composer known for his exceptional work in film music. Born on 21 June 1948 in Neuilly-sur-Seine, Hauts-de-Seine, Île-de-France, France, Sarde has established himself as one of the most talented composers in the industry.

With a career spanning several decades, Philippe Sarde has composed music for numerous films and collaborated with some of the greatest directors. His compositions have left an indelible mark on cinema, enhancing storytelling and creating emotional depth.

Influenced by artists such as Georges Delerue, Michel Magne, and Ennio Morricone among others, Sarde's musical style combines classical elements with innovative techniques. His ability to capture the essence of a scene through his melodies and arrangements is truly remarkable.

In 1968, the future composer of The Things of Life (Les Choses de la Vie) seriously considered becoming a director. He wrote and shot Florence, a short film influenced by the New Wave and composed its soundtrack, under the benevolent eye of Vladimir Cosma. The first spectators of the film are unanimous: failing to have seen a visionary cinematographic opus, they have discovered a real movie musician. From this first attempt, Philippe Sarde imposes his melodic talent on the picture and initiates his sense of counterpoint. This founding soundtrack, however, remained in the boxes for more than 50 years, before finding a place of choice on the B side of our album. To open the ball, we offer you another forgotten score: the almost unused score of Loulou, Maurice Pialatís cult classic. In 1980, the naturalist director planned to use original music to accompany the wanderings of his sublime love duo, played by Gerard Depardieu and Isabelle Huppert. He commissioned a bare, impressionistic score from Philippe Sarde, then changed his mind and kept only a timid end credits. The meeting between the two giants of French cinema did however take place, as evidenced by the first side of this beautiful lp. This album was produced from a high definition transfer of analog tapes, without compression or alteration, and respecting the dynamics of the original recordings.
