"A great composer who left a legacy of great music. I would highly recommend this 2-CD set. You can purchase the "Joe Versus the Volcano" CD at intrada.com. There are only 3,000 of these CDs in print so buy it quickly."

"seemingly bottomless well of melodic inspiration"

"Truly a great composer, Georges Delerue is responsible for some of the most beautiful music ever written. This volume of his works verges on the incalculable widely expansive, while at the same time representative of a mere fraction of this legendary composer's output.Delerue was born in Roubaix, France in 1925, rose to prominence in the film world during the '60s - received an Academy Award nomination in 1985 for his resplendent score for "AGNES OF GOD", simply a superb introspective and revealing film score.The body of work left after the passing of an artist is their gift to the world - Delerue's gift was of happiness and joy. A big thank you to - Robert Townson (producer), Richard Kraft(producer), Frank Fitzpatrick (producer), Erick Labson (mastering engineer)...none of this would possible except for one generous man and who will be missed - GEORGES DELERUE!Total Time: Disc One 77:12 on 13 Tracks & Disc Two on 11 Tracks...Varese Sarabande 302 066 223 2...(2001)"

"Great compilation of missed French composer. Great price for a two disc set. The sad thing is not that it's missing any music from Joe versus the volcano, but that his work from The Black Stallion Returns can't find a home on any cd not to mention COMPILATION. The highlight for me on this two disc set is the music from Her Alibi. This two disc is all beautiful, all french and all worth it!"
