MICHEL LEGRAND Vinilo y CD

Review: Sarah Vaughan with Michel Legrand is a brilliant collaboration that showcases the remarkable talents of two iconic artists. Released in the 1970s, this album captures Vaughan's stunning vocal ability, supported by Legrand's masterful arrangements and direction. The lush orchestration complements Vaughan's voice, elevating her performances to new heights. From the opening track, 'The Summer Knows', you thrown into a world of romance, nostalgia, and pure musical excellence. Legrand's compositions, like 'What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life?' and 'Once You've Been in Love', are transformed into unforgettable vocal pieces through Vaughan's unique interpretations. Her emotive delivery breathes life into each song, with every note feeling personal and deeply moving. The recording has a timeless, studio feel and the chemistry between Vaughan and Legrand is palpable. Their synergy is particularly striking in tracks like '(Brian's Song) The Hands of Time', where her voice and his arrangement intertwine beautifully. This album, once a hidden gem, stands as one of the finest examples of a singer and composer working in perfect harmony.
