"LES DEMOISELLES DE ROCHEFORT", ETERNEL SUCCES DE JACQUES DEMY, REVELA AU PUBLIC UNE PARTITION MUSICALE EXCEPTIONNELLE, CELLE DE MICHEL LEGRAND, CERTAINEMENT LE PLUS CONNU DES COMPOSITEURS FRANCAIS DU GRAND ECRAN. EN 2003, UNE EDITION REVISITEE DE CETTE COMEDIE MUSICALE FUT A L'AFFICHE, DONT LE TITRE PHARE, "LA CHANSON DES JUMELLES", ENVAHIT LES ONDES DURANT QUELQUES SEMAINES. L'EXERCICE ETAIT PERILLEUX: REPRENDRE UN SUCCES TELLEMENT ANCRE DANS LA MEMOIRE COLLECTIVE, POUR LUI DONNER LES ACCENTS BINAIRES DE LA MUSIQUE D'AUHOURD'HUI. ESCERCICE REUSSI CONCERNANT CETTE VERSION TRES ACTUELLE DU DUO MYTHIQUE. CELA NOUS DERANGE TRES CERTAINEMENT MAIS ON SE LAISSE VITE SEDUIRE PAR LES INNOMBRABLES ASTUCES QUI PARCOURENT CET ARRANGEMENT ET LÄENERGIE QUI S'EN DEGAGE. TRENTE SEPT ANS SEPARENT LA VERSION ORIGINALE DE CELLE-CI, MAIS LE CONSTAT EST TOUJOURS LE MEME: "CA BOUGE!"

JACQUES DEMY'S ETERNAL SUCCESS, "LES DEMOISELLES DE ROCHEFORT", REVEALED TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC AN EXCEPTIONAL MUSICAL SCORE, THAT OF MICHEL LEGRAND, CERTAINLY THE BEST KNOWN FRENCH FILM MUSIC COMPOSER. IN 2003, A RESTORED VERSION OF THIS MUSICAL WAS BILLED, THE KEY SONG OF WHICH, "THE TWINS' SONG", WAS CONSTANTLY HEARD ON THE RADIO FOR A FEW WEEKS. THE EXERCISE WAS RISKY: TO TAKE UP A SUCCESS SO WELL ANCHORED IN THE COLLECTIVE MEMORY AND TO GIVE IT THE BINARY ACCENTS OF THE MUSIC OF TODAY. THE EXERCISE SUCCEEDED IN AS FAR AS THIS MODERN VERSION OF THE FAMOUS DUET IS CONCERNED. THIS INDEED DISTURBS US, BUT WE ARE SOON ENCHANTED BY NUMEROUS STROKES OF INSPIRATION INCLUDED IN THIS ARRANGEMENT AND THE ENERGY IT GIVES OFF. THIRTY-SEVEN YEARS SEPARATE THE ORIGINAL VERSION FROM THE NEW ONE, BUT THE APPRECIATION IS ALWAYS THE SAME: "IT'S FAST MOVING!"
