Agnes of God.

My all time favourite is OUR MOTHER'S HOUSE.
Among his last scores A SUMMER STORY is really beautiful.
RICH AND FAMOUS would be a very welcome CD release. I wish Varèse could release it on its Club series...

La Revolution Francaise- essential IMO.
25th. Hour / My Mother's House superb.
Thibaud the Crusader - very good.
Though everyone recommends the London Sessions discs I have them yet never liked them.

Tribulations D'Un Chinois En Chine, Les (Chinese Adventures in China)
Particularly "Alexandrine's Theme (vocal)". Very haunting. Combine it with the visual of Ursula Andress in bikini swimming through shimmering water and you have perfection of sound and image.

Yep
1..Day of the Dolphin
2..Chinese Adventures in China(that Alexandine theme is so haunting...and never forgotten)
