Michel Legrand's Paris Rome Vienna includes in it's entirety the complete 1954 edition of 'I Love Paris' that launched the career of the young Frenchman. 'I Love Paris' is a continuous piece of music, ingeniously arranged and brilliantly played. It is regarded by many to be the greatest album of instrumental music ever recorded. What is not in doubt is that it was one of the most popular albums of the fifties, spawning the whole European music theme that was taken up by so many artists of that generation. A continuous piece of music with 16 parts many consider it to be the best instrumental LP of all time. It is certainly one of the most important as it spawned the genre of the travelogue style record. Selections from the sequels Holiday in Rome and Vienna Holiday are included also. Cherry Red.
