Michel Legrand...le plus grand des plus grands !!!... Quel talent pour enchaîner de telles variations mélodiques , harmoniques et rythmiques !!!...Quelle sensibilité musicale et quel talent!!! ...waouhhh!!!... EPOUSTOUFLANT !!!.... et ...quelle tristesse , très grande tristesse à l'annonce de sa mort!!!,..Il formait un si beau couple avec Macha Méril...comme elle doit être malheureuse...elle qui l'aimait tant !!!... Permettez-moi , madame , de partager votre douleur ... Longue vie à vous , dans le bonheur de vos souvenirs !!!... Vous avez eu cette grande chance de partager son quotidien !!! ...Michel Legrand ...

La musique devrait toujours être cela… Du jeu ! Comme entre mômes. Superbe version ! On part avec du post-romantique pour passer du bee-bop vers une valse vertigineusement jazzy… Le thème s'y prête! Puis au latin-mambo, du tango au new-orléans, pour finir à la russe! Merci monsieur Legrand. Pour votre science de la mélodie, du rythme, du tempo, de l'improvisation… Et quelle main droite, bon dieu !!! Et quelle oreille ! Vous nous manquerez, oh oui !!!
My god. I used to play tennis next to this genius in the Forest Hills at Porte de la Chapelle club in Paris late at night. He would play tennis after recording in a studio near by, but even though I knew who he was, didn’t ever talk to him since I didn’t want to bug him during his leisure time. Love all his music and he has inspired some of my own piano music themes. Love the way his jazz improvising still allows the average listener to follow what he is doing (not too abstract as some jazz improvising is).
The Man, French music composer Michel Legrand is a genius. I will never tire of his music, from all of his jazz compositions to the big movie themes. Merci, merci, merci maestro!!!
He certainly was. He could hold his own with the Great American Jazz Masters (only the best in the world!) RIP Michel and thank you for a lifetime of music!
Who else could play a song in every single key, and play it to perfection? Michel Legrand wrote one of the most beautiful songs, and performs it like only a master can, and in nearly every musical genre. Truly an amazing performance indeed.
For the past several years, this is my most watched video on TH-cam. It always brings joy to my ears and puts a smile on my face. I had the pleasure of seeing Michel in concert about 4-5 years ago, front row, center seating - what a privilege it was. Beautiful music, beautiful mind - I will miss him.
No matter who the person is or what what the name of the music is I sure really truly honestly do love them . They're wonderful music ,people who do it .
This exact performance was included as a bonus track on the Umbrellas of Cherbourg complete soundtrack as a bonus track. I've always thought it was so fantastic and melodically inventive. It's incredible to finally SEE this performance.
Мишель Легранд не тлько один из самых любимых и запоминающихся композиторов 20 столетия, но и яркий исполнитель и импровизатор. Я восхищаюсь его талантами!
I was just a little girl when this movie came out and the story brought me to tears...... The music was just so beautiful and the story so sad. Went well together...... Still love the movie, however the story is as old as the world ofcourse.
We love how Legrand calls out all these different styles, traditional, swing, bebop, Bossanova, tango, 'New Orleans', and the band just goes right with him. Excellent concert, thank you for posting this!! Happy Jazz Day 2014.
Todo un buen compositor, buen músico, excelente arreglista tuve y tengo el honor de tener un lp de música francesa inolvidable Love París evocando el romanticismo y estilo de las calles de la ciudad luz Gracias e inolvidable maestro¡¡
He is sublime...any artist who is privileged enough to work with him is indeed fortunate. Boy this is really a talked through rendition...kind of fun to see the musicians follow him and his joyous and fun romp through this tune. *****
I alway knew Legrand, he is great. I looked him up and saw this and thought it was great. But I NEVER heard this bass player before. WOW. He is OUTSTANDING. Eric Lagace!!!! His tone is Full. That's how I like my bass players to sound. He got a lot of Ray and Neils in him.
I had the unbelievable luck to see the amazing Michel Legrand perform this, along with other famous compositions of his, a week ago (he is now 80 years old!).... he is a living legend jazz pianist virtuoso as well as an incredible composer of beautiful film scores and jazz standards.... and just plain funny, sweet and adorable in person...
If it takes forever I will wait for you For a thousand summers I will wait for you Till you're back beside me, till I'm holding you Till I hear you sigh here in my arms Anywhere you wander, anywhere you go Every day remember how I love you so In your heart believe what in my heart I know That forevermore I will wait for you The clock will tick away the hours one by one Then the time will come when all the waiting's done The time when you return and find me here and run Straight to my waiting arms If it takes forever I will wait for you For a thousand summers I will wait for you Till you're here beside me, till I'm touching you And forevermore sharing your love
Pétillant, merveilleux, divin… Un concentré pur jus de talent qui fait honneur à la musique… Merci M'sieur Legrand qui porte bien son nom. Un admirateur
Gracias Michel Legrand por llegar a mi corazón con tu música. Se que eres una gran persona a parte de un gran músico por eso tu música llega tan hondo.
The Umbrellas of Cherbourg is one of the most beautiful songs I have heard. It is better played as the emotional song that it is. It loses something w the Jazz. But it is an honor hearing the composer and seeing him. He has graced our lives w beauty.
wow, incredible! I got tears in my eyes right from the beginning, that beautiful opening :) :) :) Michel Legrand has written some of the most beautiful songs of our time. Thank you, Michel Legrand!
I listen to music with earbuds while working. It helps me concentrate. Then I started listening to this and had to stop in the first notes, thinking: "Do I really want to do this now? Cry at work?" This song and the movie are the most wonderful things and make me just too emotional. Love Michel Legrand.Genius.
Pour l'avoir croisé et accompagner brièvement à la batterie (je jouais avec Rhoda Scott) , personnellement , et l'avoir vu jouer du piano et chanter à quelques mètres, dans un club de jazz privé, à Val d'Isère , lors d'une soirée promotionnelle pour une grande chanteuse Américaine, je ne pourrais jamais l'oublier, avec son immense talent et sa grande gentillesse .
Adieu Monsieur Michel Legrand. J'adorais ce morceau et cette interprétation si surprenante et divertissante. Je m'étais moi-même amusé à faire du rythme manouche à la guitare, ce morceau s'y préte si bien. Merci pour vos musiques.
No parlais frances, but music is universal to all souls. For some reason i can understand some written french, italian and portuguese. Amazing! Going back to Michel’s talent. He is an excellent pianist.. Bon jour
just wish as I should this USA would consider Michelle as a headliner live, thank God for Europe's appreciation of maybe the greatest combination song writer and musician
off the scale (excuse the pun) - for me, up there with Bill Evans and Oscar Peterson. I can watch and listen to this over and over again...it's so joyous, glorious, uplifting, mesmerising and spellbinding!
génialissimmmmmmmmmme!!!!! j'ai retrouvé le sourire depuis lundi soir où j'ai eu la chance incroyable d'assister au concert du GRAND Michel à Nantes. Quand on blues, voilà ce qu'il faut écouter! depuis je cherche les bonnes vidéos... Bravos à tous les musiciens , sans m'y connaître, qui sont excellents!!sourire
Rip Maestro Michel Legrand. 2019 26th January Benjamin, continuez son œuvre en le chantant et Hervé faites nous revivre de belles partitions de votre père à tous les 2.
Brilliant as he takes the other musicians through a variety of rhythms and styles and tempos, all in a piece which he wrote himself. Outstanding and very inspiring too, I like to do this sort of thing sometimes when I play. Merci Michel Legrand !

Even though it is 2021, I am so thrilled by Michel Legrand's skill.
In 2022 too :) I simply love this song, although it makes me cry sometimes...

The hands of a 21 years old man, the genius of music. So sadly missed across the world. Respect to France for such a sad loss ❤
The Man, French music composer Michel Legrand is a genius. I will never tire of his music, from all of his jazz compositions to the big movie themes. Merci, merci, merci maestro!!!
Merci !
He died today 😢
He certainly was. He could hold his own with the Great American Jazz Masters (only the best in the world!) RIP Michel and thank you for a lifetime of music!
@@jeanned.6706 genius is nothing for him. He was much more than a genius.

Rewelacja, brawo mistrzu najlepszej muzyki filmowej.!Dziękuję za emocje przy słuchaniu.

Truly an amazing performance indeed.
Quite amazing; I did not realize he played so incredibly well.
Un grand compositeur, avec un nom qui le prédestinait à la grandeur.
For the past several years, this is my most watched video on TH-cam. It always brings joy to my ears and puts a smile on my face. I had the pleasure of seeing Michel in concert about 4-5 years ago, front row, center seating - what a privilege it was. Beautiful music, beautiful mind - I will miss him.
Nice to see my high school stage band mate, Ray Brinker playing with such epic talents. He certainly owns his place among them.
No matter who the person is or what what the name of the music is I sure really truly honestly do love them . They're wonderful music ,people who do it .
Classique, ragtime, bossa nova, tango, new orleans, marche russe, tous les genres revisités par Michel Legrand en un morceau !
Reposez en paix et merci pour la joie et le bonheur dispensées par vos compositions musicales à jamais intégrées au patrimoine mondial.
BRAVO !! les GRANDS ARTISTES ne meurent jamais, car leur oeuvre leur survit !!

The great Jesse Norman got me here too……. Lordy lordy…….simply divine. Thank you so much. Miss Jenny
I was just a little girl when this movie came out and the story brought me to tears...... The music was just so beautiful and the story so sad. Went well together...... Still love the movie, however the story is as old as the world ofcourse.
I always thought it was a happy ending: They were flexible, went on with their lives, and rebuilt a life filled with happiness.
Tout simplement magnifique, un morceau que je ne me lacerai jamais de chantonner !!! Quelle merveille en tout cas, cet arrangement !!!
Quel doigté surprenant et super swinguant. Mon franglais,
We love how Legrand calls out all these different styles, traditional, swing, bebop, Bossanova, tango, 'New Orleans', and the band just goes right with him. Excellent concert, thank you for posting this!! Happy Jazz Day 2014.
You had no clue that they had rehearsed this "many times"? ( sure you did ) He's tremendous
R.I.P. What a phenomenal musician & composer.
Enormous loss to music. His music will stand the test of time!
I wonder if this inspired Gary Moore's "Pariseinne Walkway's " ?.

R.I.P. Michel Legrand One of the greatest geniuses of music, one epoch is over but your talent and soul will live forever in your music! 💖💖💖
Waiting is so very hard to do but if the love is there, you can wait... wonderful talent

If it takes forever I will wait for you
For a thousand summers I will wait for you
Till you're back beside me, till I'm holding you
Till I hear you sigh here in my arms
Anywhere you wander, anywhere you go
Every day remember how I love you so
In your heart believe what in my heart I know
That forevermore I will wait for you
The clock will tick away the hours one by one
Then the time will come when all the waiting's done
The time when you return and find me here and run
Straight to my waiting arms
If it takes forever I will wait for you
For a thousand summers I will wait for you
Till you're here beside me, till I'm touching you
And forevermore sharing your love
His music/compositions and musicianship stand for themselves ... A true musical genius, Michel Legrand.

It's my favorite song. I agree with you. Can't also deny that just by seeing them having fun with this masterpiece was fun. ☺️
Legrand accompanying that song with a singer on the piano is it ne of the absolute most stunning things I’ve ever heard
He was a Genie. RIP. Unfortunately i missed him at San Javier Jazz festival.
un pianiste magnifique et aussi chanteur et aussi compositeur tous les talents improvisateur de génie
I love Michel Legrand's wonderful film compositions! Such passion and heart in all his work! ❤️
Bravo Monsieur Le Grand ... vous êtes réellement UN GRAND...🙏
Merci
Esecuzione semplicemente stupenda, da ascoltare e riascoltare all'infinito...
BRAVO !! MERCI ! Michel RAY ERIC § PHIL le bonheur vous le touchez / our notre plus grand plaisir
the most beautiful music of a century came out of this marvelous man !
Difficult to choose between Mr Legrand, Lennon& McCartney, and George Gershwin.....(but a good dilemma to have!)
@@worsted1908 And Ennio!
I fell in love with this song when I was a little girl in the 1960s. My love goes on.
Gina Greenlee I just fell in love with this song! Great music will leave a Legacy for all generations!
Gina, Michel Legrand died today. We are so sad...France is crying.
I as well when I saw the Movie in Los Angeles & Read the Subtitles in English as a young boy ??.......
@@ericw4942 RIP beautiful songwriter.
Gracias Michel
algún dia ire a visitar Cherburg. Vive la France ,viva España ,viva Europa,viva el Mundo.
This is about my 50th time watching this. I have a million more to go.....
Michel Legrand is at TOP of the big composer jazz man and many other!
❤
...and sadly missed! But what a legacy he left for the world to continue growing and enjoy ❤
As a pianist, it fills me with pure joy to watch a musical genius of the highest order having so much fun playing the piano
Great artist, brilliant pianist, significant composer, why didn’t I discover this genius before? Shame on me.
J'adore la musique de Michel Legrand! Merci beaucoup pour votre partage!
wow, incredible! I got tears in my eyes right from the beginning, that beautiful opening :) :) :) Michel Legrand has written some of the most beautiful songs of our time. Thank you, Michel Legrand!

Ets genial, Michel Legrand. Gràcies per tantes aportacions. València, febrer 2019
What a wonderful legacy for us to enjoy. Such talent and brilliance.
Mistrzostwo...... a utwór piękny
This is absolutely thrilling. He was such a master, with a truly beautiful soul.
This is the one of my especially favorites.
I love it.
what pure musicianship! love it!
I listen to music with earbuds while working. It helps me concentrate. Then I started listening to this and had to stop in the first notes, thinking: "Do I really want to do this now? Cry at work?"
This song and the movie are the most wonderful things and make me just too emotional. Love Michel Legrand.Genius.
Impecable.... un deleite !!! ♥ Gracias
The most badass jazz performance ever
Michel's fantastic composition, now with his jazz interpretation. So enjoyable.
That was possibly the most beautiful thing I have ever heard.

The best video on TH-cam, I wish there was a Spotify version
One of the best composers of all time for me, the beauty of it is that he has so many songs as beautiful as this. Bravo maestro rest in peace.

Truly a virtuoso whose talent and enthusiasm are missed. I have been inspired with the desire to learn and play his music. Merci beaucoup, m. LeGrand!
This is one of the most fabulous things I have ever seen!
RIP Michel Legrand. What better way to honor you than by listening to, and sharing, your beautiful music.
Именно так, уходя, человек может ОСТАТЬСЯ!! Браво!
No parlais frances, but music is universal to all souls. For some reason i can understand some written french, italian and portuguese. Amazing!
Going back to Michel’s talent. He is an excellent pianist.. Bon jour
You are correct Rigo. Music is what brings us all together so we need no other language. Blessings and peace be with you.
Maestro is genius!Interpretation, arrangement, perfect music-everything is super! I bow to talent!

RIP you brilliant deathless genius. My eyes flow with tears of sadness and gratitude for you tonight.
I just bought the piano sheet music to this song. The man may no longer be with us but his music lives on and that's great
sheet music often lacks the complexity of the improvs that one wishes to imitate. sad.

Well you're lucky enough to be able to see music.

Forever love this melody ! Greetings from Jazzman Kuala Lumpur.
I first saw Michel LeGrand at Heinz Hall in Pgh., Pa. 1974. He was wonderful then.
Who thought he could get even better!
Brilliant as he takes the other musicians through a variety of rhythms and styles and tempos, all in a piece which he wrote himself. Outstanding and very inspiring too, I like to do this sort of thing sometimes when I play. Merci Michel Legrand !
very great
I could listen to him forever! Wonderful! Sheer elegance!
He is a great musician! Composer, singer, complexe orchestration A top one to remember!
So wonderful, full of taste, class, yet fun, virtuosity, all skills, all freely given talent.., bravo, and again!!
