    One of the loveliest pieces written for film. Perfect 'love story' theme. On any solo instrument. Check out Itzak Pearlman's take on this. Almost a completely new piece. Thank you Michel.

    There are Legrand songs from the PC game Torins Passage for free download here: http://www.allowe.com/Torin/musicdownloads.htm This is kind of legal, I think, as it is the homepage of Al Lowe, the creator of Torins Passage, of Leisure Suit Larry fame.
