Contains almost an hour & a half of music. Libretto (in French). La Belle et la Bete, aka Beauty & the Beast. In an interview with Jonathan Cott (printed in the enclosed booklet), Philip Glass stated: "I think that at a certain point of your life you start doing work you've been thinking about for a long time. In the case of La Belle et la Bête and my other Jean Cocteau projects - Orphée and Les Enfants Terribles - I'm finally doing pieces I've been wanting to do for at least twenty years. To me, La Belle is Cocteau's most complete statement about the entire creative process. The film is clearly an allegorical story. We can take it as a fairy tale, a love story, and as a representation of the major preoccupation of Cocteau's life. Many young people today know it only as the "Disney" animated fairy tale (which I haven't seen). But the story interests me less as a fairy tale than as a love story. And as a love story I think it's equal to Romeo and Juliet and to Tristan and Isolde - it's an archetypal love story that goes right to the heart". A very nice clean solid copy.
