Reynold da Silva's Silva Screen Records has been constructing a series of "essential" collections of major film composers' scores usually by making new recordings of portions of those scores or compiling recordings previously made for other projects, most often employing the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra. For this Michel Legrand album, the label has actually enlisted Legrand as conductor of the Flemish Radio Orchestra (whose contributions are not noted until you examine the CD booklet), with a few additional jazz musicians, plus Legrand himself on piano and (during the extended suite from The Go-Between) harpsichord. Still, these are new recordings, made in December 2004, and should not be confused with actual soundtrack recordings. Legrand oversees excerpts from some of his most popular scores, leaning heavily on the major themes, such as "I Will Wait for You" from The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, "Theme from Summer of '42," and "The Windmills of Your Mind" from The Thomas Crown Affair.

Lors d’un séjour aux États-Unis, Jean-Michel Cohen découvre le buddha bowl et est séduit par ce plat tout-en-un réunissant légumes-céréales-légumineuses et oléagineux.
Un plat facile à réaliser, créatif à souhait, consistant et bon pour la santé.
On met ce qu’on veut dans un bo(w)l : des protéines (végétales, animales), des féculents, du fromage, de la salade, des fruits…

A Time To Remember is a continuation of the special synergy that inhabited Elina Duni’s acclaimed Lost Ships and finds her regrouping with that album’s quartet of guitarist Rob Luft, Matthieu Michel on flugelhorn and Fred Thomas on percussion and piano. As the title suggests, the notion of ‘time’ pulls through the programme like a theme, connecting music from different parts of the world – traditionals, popular songs and original compositions – in performances of deep lyricism but also fleet-footed folklore. The repertory spans Albanian and Kosovan traditionals, American songs like the Broadway classic “I’ll Be Seeing You” and Stephen Sondheim’s musical ballad “Send In The Clowns” as well as originals by Rob and Elina. Commenting on the group’s last effort, Jazzwise said that “the sum of Duni and Luft’s work together seems greater than their individual achievements, where concept and conceptualisation have combined to produce a classic.” A Time To Remember should confirm that proposition and further expands on the qualities explored previously.

Est-il encore nécessaire de présenter Thomas Piketty? Il est l’auteur d’un best-seller mondial, Le ­Capital­ au XXIe siècle et plus récemment de Capital et idéologie, qui lui ont valu d’être invité dans le monde entier. La hardiesse de certaines de ses propositions de taxation des hauts revenus et des grandes fortunes pour étendre le champ de la redistribution en a fait une figure incontournable du débat politique en France comme à l’étranger. Dans ses deux ouvrages, l’auteur entend également jeter les bases d’un «socialisme participatif» présenté comme un dépassement du capitalisme. …
