I LOVE PARIS - MICHEL LEGRAND (Album,minus 'Autumn Leaves'}

Michel Legrand (1932-2019) was only 22 when he created this best-selling album, utilizing fifteen Paris-themed melodies. The songs are engagingly woven together, creating a musical tapestry, so that one blends into the next. This comprises a suite, easily listenable as a whole. Released in 1954, this album went on to sell over 8 million copies. It was one of the monthly offerings of the early Columbia Record Club--(that's how I got my first copy, long since worn out).
Note: Due to copyright claim, the song 'Autumn Leaves' is not included in this posting.

We had this album when I was growing up in the 1950s and 60s. I love it all. But the recording isn't perfect. It would be wonderful if an orchestra made a new performance with the original orchestration. And/or a remastering?

Michel Legrand (1932-2019) n’a que 22 ans lorsqu’il crée cet album-concept, reprenant quinze mélodies parisiennes issues de standards de l'époque, français ou pas, chantés ou pas mais tous liés à la ville de Paris . Les chansons sont enchevêtrées, créant une tapisserie musicale, de sorte que l’une se fond dans l’autre. Il s’agit d’une suite, facilement écoutable dans son ensemble. Sorti en 1954, cet album s’est ensuite vendu à plus de 8 millions d’exemplaires !

Je viens de découvrir cet album!
En effet lisant le livre de Michel LEGRAND « j’ai le regret de vous dire oui » il parle de cet album , en indiquant que Jacques Canetti lui a dit qu’il ne toucherait pas de royalties sur les ventes mais un forfait de 200 dollars! Et il a accepté
