Michel Legrands "Paris Rome Vienna" includes in its entirety the complete 1954 edition of I Love Paris that launched the career of the young Frenchman.
Fifties America was captivated by the romantic idea of Paris and the album sold millions of copies. 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 15 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; released here in digital format for the first time.
