Georges Delerue Commented Discography
About the Author
|
An amateur filmmaker during his adolescence, Montrealer Clément Fontaine has for many years worked as a journalist, teacher, translator and writer. In 1994, eager for change, he decided to turn his main hobby into a living by starting a mail order outlet dedicated to film music. It was a first in Canada. This coincided with the birth of the Delerue Page, the first bilingual Internet site devoted to the composer of Jules et Jim and Le Mépris. Clément Fontaine subsequently reoriented the business to sound restoration, a new passion that led him to realise an old dream - of becoming a record producer. Founded in 2002, the Disques Cinémusique label promotes European and Canadian soundtracks. Clément Fontaine's strong interest in the output of Georges Delerue dates back to the time when he started to go to the movies, at the height of the French Nouvelle Vague in the early 1960s. He found the original music associated with the images of directors like Godard, Truffaut and de Broca, to mention just a few, to be immediately moving and often seductive. The music's power of transfiguration and evocation, whether composed for the small or large screen, still unrecognized by the Public and most film buffs, continues to fascinate him to the present day.
