Bridge, A Love Story

LOVE STORY SHORT – About a love that fell apart. This is what Eva-Maria Hartmann calls her current crossover program, which describes the highs and lows of a love relationship between two people. It is an attempt to sing about love and pain, to revel in it and ultimately to scream it from the heart. Enthusiastic, angry and whining. Sad and romantic. In all colors.

Quartet Records, Paramount Pictures and Universal Music Group present the remastered, expanded release of the iconic score by the great Francis Lai (A Man and A Woman, Life for Life, House of Cards, Dark Eyes, Bilitis) for the unforgettable 1970 romantic classic Love Story, directed by Arthur Hiller and starring Ryan O’Neal, Ali McGraw, Ray Milland and John Marley. The film was nominated for six Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Director, Screenplay and O’Neal and McGraw’s performances, but won only in the Best Original Score category (the only Oscar ever won by the prolific French composer). The choice of Francis Lai was a personal obsession of producer Robert Evans, who pursued the composer until he accepted, despite Lai initially refusing to compose the score due to other commitments. But Evans’ intuition was spot-on. Today, Lai’s Love Story score remains one of the most memorable and richly lyrical works in the canon of romantic film scores. The main theme remains one of the most famous melodies in film history, covered countess times—including an especially memorable arrangement by Henry Mancini for RCA.

“From the tensions of the first track Arise, to the emotional The Last Words Of M, to the final and most complex track, Untouched By A Storm, where the orchestra divides into 20 separate string parts, this is a beautifully crafted, meticulous and robust album from one of the UK’s most exciting young composers”.
