Maurice Jarre began work on the classic 1966 film score Grand Prix soon after completion of
his most famous cinematic score, Dr. Zhivago (1965).
MGM's Grand Prix is the story about Formula 1 racing and the experiences, on and off the track, of a group of racers during a Grand Prix season.
The film was one of ten highest grossing films in 1966. The score, played in 6-track stereo, provided a melodic and sensitive depiction for each of the film's characters, in true Jarre style. And with 8 harps to boot.
