CÉSAR ET ROSALIE

After Les choses de la vie, Transversales proudly presents the first ever LP reissue
of this classic Philippe Sarde soundtrack: César et Rosalie.
« As it happens, Philippe is less interested in his natural function which is to write music
sheets... than in the film itself. And I, somehow, am as much, and perhaps more interested
in the music than in the film itself. Therein lies the deep reason for our paradoxical
relationship.” These are the words French film director Claude Sautet used to define his
collaboration with the prodigious French composer.
The « Cesar et Rosalie » score is like a magical bridge linking baroque and
electronic music, mixing Moog synthesizer sequences with acoustic instruments.
Compared to the original CAM LP, this reissue contains 6 unreleased tracks that were
removed from the original tracklisting. Among them a Mariage 72 in Bacharach style and a
beautiful piano version of the theme performed by Philippe Sarde himself. It obviously
contains Romy Schneider’s famous voice-over in the unforgettable track La lettre de
Rosalie.
