Australian-born Ron Grainer was one of Britain's most talented and prolific composers of film and TV music, and here Vocalion presents (for the first time in stereo) Ron's Decca album containing his theme and incidental music for the famous 1960s BBC TV series that followed the exploits of French detective Maigret. This music perfectly evokes the seedy, dangerous world that Maigret inhabited, and on this disc is accompanied by a tantalising selection of other film and TV music by artists signed to Decca. Titles include Grainer's That Was the Week that Was, Malcolm Arnold's Sky West and Crooked and Madrigal, Jack Parnell's The Kiss and The Hidden Truth, Maurice Jarre's The Last Tycoon and Lionel Bart's Sparrows Can't Sing. Remastered from the original analogue stereo tapes. First time on CD.
