Vivian Buczek: Le Grand Michel

by Neil Duggan
October 22, 2024

The title of this album, Le Grand Michel, refers to French composer, pianist and arranger, Michel Legrand. In a glittering career, he wrote hundreds of film and television scores. He won three Oscars (from 13 nominations) with “The Windmills of Your Mind," featured in The Thomas Crown Affair (1968), perhaps his best- known work. This song had English lyrics written by Marilyn Bergman and Alan Bergman, the couple formed a long-lasting songwriting relationship with Legrand, also winning three Oscars.
