Much was needed to realize my dream.\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003eMost of all I needed a great singer, who could perform these songs authentically, but in her individual way. I needed a very creative and versatile Jazz trio being the backbone of the production. I needed a String Chamber Orchestra playing at a high level. I needed outstanding soloists, who can extend the color palette of the album with their unique musical personalities. And of course, I needed inspiration for the orchestrations besides the inspiration that Legrand's songs gave me.\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003eOn the one hand, I got inspiration during my travels, as I composed these covers in several cities of Europe. On the other hand, I got plenty of ideas during the past 25 years of immersion in Classical Music. I got plenty of inspirations from Bach's music, as well. There is Bach hidden in Legrand's music, so it wasn't difficult for me to use baroque motifs.\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cem\u003eHowever there are many other possibilities in these songs, which can be turned in several music directions. I think, in spite of the various musical sounds of the album, Legrand's personality and immediately recognizable tunes make the production unified.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eAndrea Malek, Vocals\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eKalman Olah, Piano, Arranger \u0026amp; Conductor\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eRoby Lakatos, Violin\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eTrio Midnight\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\nKálmán Oláh - Piano\r\nElemér Balázs - Drums\r\nJános Egri - Double Bass\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eDanubia Orchestra Óbuda\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eJanos Bodor - Concertmaster\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eGuest Musicians\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\nPaul Lakatos - Guitar\r\nJózsef Czibere - Percussion","brand":"Hunnia Records","offers":[{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739850256708,"sku":"HRES1608-6","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739850289476,"sku":"HRES1608-7","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739850322244,"sku":"HRES1608-14","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739850355012,"sku":"HRES1608-15","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739850387780,"sku":"HRES1608-16","price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 512 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739850420548,"sku":"HRES1608-21","price":35.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DXD 24 Bit \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739850453316,"sku":"HRES1608-22","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"WAV 176.4 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739850486084,"sku":"HRES1608-71","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"WAV  88.2 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739850518852,"sku":"HRES1608-72","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"WAV 44.1 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":57339246838084,"sku":"HRES1608-4","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/HRES1608.jpg?v=1778490759","url":"https:\/\/www.nativedsd.com\/products\/hres1608-the-michel-legrand-songbook","provider":"NativeDSD Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
