French composer Michel Legrand, who today performed a concert in
Armenia's capital Yerevan, sais 'I want to express my music in images.'
"Now I compose for the stage," Michel Legrand said in Yerevan, who
during his creative working life has produced more than a hundred
albums and written music for more than 200 films.
The world-renowned composer informed the press that he is currently
working on three theatrical musicals. And in answer to the question
of how he relates to contemporary musicals, such as "Notre Dame de
Paris," he said that "it isn't a musical at all, but a series of
songs one after another, there is no story there, nothing theatrical,
such works are simply 'nonsense'."
Michel Legrand is currently writing two more operas, one of which is
to be performed in Paris, and the other, in London.
It turns out that Legrand who has numerous musical talents is also a
stage manager. He is going to release a film called "Blind Love." "I
found a way to use music in film in a way that has never been done
before. And I chose love as the subject [of the film] because in that
way I can use my music at its best. I wanted to express my music in
images," said the composer.
