HOWARD BLAKE
The Duellists / Riddle Of The Sands
AOD HB002 (Promo) 19.99
(73:52) Duellists is visually triumphant 1977 Ridley Scott movie with
dark, somber music (37:11). Napoleon-era backdrops get authentic flavor,

duels get intense, dissonant strings, romantic moods get haunting
lyricism. Riddle Of The Sands, a 1979 spy thriller set in foggy island
landscapes of northern Germany, gets rich, evocative score (36:41) with
strong main theme. Moody, exciting music played by National Philharmonic

Orchestra with chorus.

DON DAVIS
Turbulence 2: Fear Of Flying PTE 8526 15.99
(72:54) Good thing, bad thing. It's exciting music, but realized all on
synthesizers. Limited colors grow heavy at 73 minutes. If only they had
hired an orchestra...

PASCAL ESTEVE
La Veuve De Saint-Pierre Universal 542572 (France) 29.99
(46:27) New movie by Patrice Leconte has score for large orchestra.

MICHEL LEGRAND
Partir Revenir Editions23 80045 (France) 29.99
(76:18) Rachmaninoff's Concerto No. 2 for piano and orchestra takes up
first half. Second half is Legrand's score. Highlight is Legrand's own
concerto (20:06), featuring one of his finest melodies. The work is
exciting, haunting, powerful. A Legrand classic.

ENNIO MORRICONE
Gli Occhi Freddi Della Paura Dagored 119 (Italy) 16.99
Capsule review coming soon.

My Name Is Nobody CDST 330 (expanded) 20.99
(74:31) Terrific 1973 score, expanded for the first time. Serio-comic
western with Terence Hill & Henry Fonda gets several Morricone moods -
from colorful & whimsical through trademark Italian western style, from
rich & beautiful through pure "final showdown" cliche'. Strong score,
lengthy recording.

Slalom Dagored 118 (Italy) 16.99
(41:31) Rare upbeat, uptempo Morricone score represented fully for the
first time. Pretty cheesy stuff.

JEAN-CLAUDE PETIT
Les Miserables Madoro K 1042 (France) 29.99
(43:38) New version of classic tale starring John Malkovich & Gerard
Depardieu. Dramatic, exciting symphonic music. One of Petit's strongest
scores to date.

(64:58) Samurai/thriller scored for strings, flute, oboe, clarinet,
bassoon, piano, sho and percussion. Herrmann-influenced in style,
phrasing. Numerous unusual atonal, percussive sections. Dark and eerie.

PHILIPPE SARDE
Princesses / Un Frere Universal 159648 (France) 29.99
(41:58) Music from three movies emphasizing jazz combined with string
orchestra. Crisp, dynamic recording swings from upbeat to moody.
Prinesses (17:10) / Un Frere (15:09) / L'Homme Aux Yeux D'Argent (9:39).
