LAURA : A famous movie theme by David Raksin that AlecWilder described as"A complex yet beautiful melody" Johnny Mercer' s lyrics were added after the film was released and were a major factor in its popularity. It is one song that Cole Porter wished that he had written.
In a C0llege of Pacific Concert, Dave Brubeck played a solo version of Laura that the liner notes for thr album stated that this was a version tht Racmaninoff might have played on the brand new Bosendorfer piano purchases by the College. Less perecussive than usual, it is a highly lyrical and sensitive performance by Brubeck.
