Theme From Love Story/Snow Frolic/Mozart Sonata In F Major (Allegro)/I Love You Phil/The Christmas Trees/ Search For Jenny/Bozo Barrett/Skating In Central Park/The Long Walk Home/J S Bach Concerto No 3 In D Major (Allegro)/Theme From Love Story Finale
The tragic romantic film Love Story was based on the screenplay and novel by Eric Segal and starred Ryan O’Neil and Ami McGraw. All the tracks were written by Francis Lai. (US:2 UK:10)
“The first time I watched Love Story what I immediately noticed was the beautiful music throughout the film. Every song is amazingly played with that classic 70s muted bass and drum sound. Some of the tracks have a girl singing so softly with a harpsichord and it is amazing. The song Christmas Trees is the most beautiful piece of music I have ever heard and is perfectly arranged.”
“The score is haunting and beautiful and magnificently echoed the feel of the story, enhancing the youth, promise and sadness in the lives of Oliver and Jenny. If you loved the film, you need to have the album.”
“Most of the tracks are just different renditions/arrangements of the Love Story theme. I especially like The Christmas Trees, and the sultry vocal on I Love You, Phil. This album brings back memories from the early 70s, a time when the world seemed a little less complex and down to earth.”
“The album contains a mix of beautiful recordings, with the classic 70s bass and drum sounds. A lovely sounding harpsichord appears throughout and works amazingly against a girl’s voice, who sings so softly with the music. The piano and the strings make the album.”
“Francis Lai's score never fails to propel me back to a time when somehow things were better and less knowing. My personal favourite has to be Snow Frolic which still manages to create a profound sense of nostalgia and child-like wonder in me. The tune and the arrangement are really something to behold, employing a sumptuous mix of fat bass, drums and harpsichord set to a very French siren's call: just gorgeous.”
