Search - Jean Prodromides :: La Comédie selon Jean Prodromidès (The Comedy according to Jean Prodromidès)

La Comédie selon Jean Prodromidès, (The Comedy According to Jean Prodromidès) reflects the lighter side of the composer. The whole content originates from the turn of the sixties. L'Ours (The Bear), a premiere on digital support, is a 16-minute score for big orchestra and six solo mandolins which often recalls the most energetic and humorous passages of Le Voyage en ballon. Incidentally, both soundtracks were recorded the same year by the same orchestra and crew.

Remastered versions of the best excerpts from four other original soundtrack recordings by Prodomidès complete the program : Archimède le clochard, Le Bateau d'Émile, Maigret et l'affaire Saint-Fiacre et Le Baron de l'écluse. Three of these movies were tailor made for legendary actor Jean Gabin, then at the peak of his popularity. 12-page booklet
