Les Vêpres Siciliennes is one of Verdi’s misunderstood operas. It is usually presented to audiences today as I vespri Siciliani - that is, in a clumsy and pedestrian Italian translation and as such gives a false representation of Verdi’s original concept. This opera was composed for the Paris Opera to a libretto by Eugene Scribe, one of the greatest poets of the day and Charles Duveyrier. Verdi embraces the French idiom – the musical forms, the orchestration, the vocal writing – with the same grandeur and sense of occasion as Rossini and Meyerbeer before him. Certainly to give an opera in translation is no crime but to continually deprive the public of this particularly beautiful marriage of text and music is close to criminal. This is the third in the Verdi Originals series and this BBC recording of the opera finally restores the original French libretto.

Philippe Sarde is one of the greatest composers of film music ever. Even if his work has been mainly concentrated on French and European films, his reputation has spread around the world. With more than 350 soundtracks in 50 years, no one could escape his compositions. He has collaborated with the greatest French and European directors: Claude Sautet, Roger Vadim, Costa-Gavras, Marco Ferreri, Roman Polanski, Jean-Jacques Annaud, the list is endless. And to dress his music, he systematically surrounded himself with the greatest. In the course of the titles, we meet the London Symphony Orchestra, the Orchestra of Paris, violinists Stéphane Grappelli or Ivry Gitlis, clarinetist and arranger Hubert Rostaing, saxophone virtuosos Stan Getz or Wayne Shorter and other jazz legends such as Chet Baker, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter, Billy Cobham, Kenny Clarke… The music selection has been supervised by PHILIPPE SARDE himself. The boxset includes a 36-page booklet with an original portrait (in French and English) written by the world specialist of Film Soundtracks STÉPHANE LEROUGE, and rare or unpublished photos, and a dedication by the star of the Big Screen ALAIN DELON. “Philippe Sarde, even before composition, is first of all Imagination.” Declared Georges Lautner. A point of view confirmed by this imposing anthology, indispensable, which draws the contours of a contemporary but already classic work.
