idril 86 Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 I couldn't see a thread on this so I thought I would start one. Does anyone else enjoy the music of Bruno Coulais? He's one of my favourite composers. I adore his combinations of world music and orchestral, his use of vocals in his soundtracks and his beautiful melodies. I find him one of the most underrated composers (at least outside of France). Anyone have any particular favourites or opinions on his work?

Bespin 8,472 Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 I will say something horrible, but the day a french (from France I mean) instrumental music composer will write good music, I will know it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that's a bit harsh! Just realised I accidentally started this thread in the wrong category. Any way to move it to General Discussion..?

filmmusic 1,822 Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 I love Himalaya! I haven't really listened to anything else besides Microcosmos and Coraline. Once 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once 604 Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 He is also one of my absolute favourite film composers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idril 86 Posted December 4, 2017 Author Share Posted December 4, 2017 Thanks for moving this! Yes Himalaya is so entrancing and Les Choristes is endlessly charming and beautiful. One of my all-time favourites is also Don Juan: He uses the Corsican vocal group A Filetta frequently, which creates such an emotive and interesting sound. One of my favourites is La Rivière Espérance, which always cheers me up and has such a lovely sense of luxury and momentum: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 7,451 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Coulais is a wonderful composer when he's "on".

Yeah, those French composers. Not a single good one among them. Ravel, Debussy, Berlioz, Bizet, Boulez, Fauré, Messiaen, Saint-Saen, Satie, Dukas.....hacks, all of them!
