Respected film composer Michel Legrand is very deserving of a 'best songs' collection, and Le Meilleur de Michel Legrand is an appropriate choice. From his swaying romantic ballads to his jazzy, up-tempo numbers, Legrand is a fine composer and incredible musician. Without recognizing the films they are taken from, his themes are still vivid and lovely portrayals of emotions that are easy to relate to. Fans of the jazzy film work of Elmer Bernstein and Henry Mancini should definitely give this a listen, but all curious film music buffs would do themselves a big favor by checking out Legrand. In fact, anyone looking for some beautiful romantic jazz could easily program out a few songs and create a knockout album, making this a highly recommendable collection of one of the best French film composers of the 20th century.
